I don't have apps. What are the problems? My mother forgot to charge her phone and carry it. It was pretty much useless to her. Figure out what works for the person that you're trying to help.

Yes my mother has a basic Jitterbug flip phone and can’t remember how to get her voicemail. I’m not sure what OP means by “motionless” but I assume he means a way to check on an elderly person in case they are hurt. With my mom we did a daily phone call but if she were home now (she’s in assisted living) I’d try to convince her to let me put a camera or two in her house that I could look at if I couldn’t reach her and make sure she’s ok.

Yeah. Motionless could mean that they're taking a nap, have fallen, or are no longer with us.
I just bought my father an Echo show. It was about $50 bucks on Amazon on sale. It is a touch screen audio/video device. It is the cheapest Show 5 version. He loves it because it is an easy to read and set alarm clock, and it plays all of his favorite radio stations/music etc.. via voice commands. He can ask it to even play TV shows/movies from Amazon prime. He can ask it what the weather is, and also ask it tons of random questions... It reads audio books to him. He can use it to call me on my phone by voice command if he falls and can't get up. And when I download an App on my phone, I can use the App to "drop in" and actually see him in his bedroom, if he is in the range of the device.
These things are totally amazing.
OP - what exactly are your goals? Is your loved one out and about in the world? Or in a single room in a nursing home?
