The alarm around her neck calls a response centre not 999. Any number of scenarios could have ensued from her not being able to respond to the 'Mrs Xxxx, are you ok?' to Mrs X saying she pushed the button in a panic and was okay really.

These centres usually get the paramedics out in emergencies rather than the police so I would suggest there was a succession of events that perhaps even the OP is not clear about.

That doesn't explain why it was four hours before entry was made into the house.

I've got experience of how these alarms work and would have been shocked if it had ever taken half an hour to get into a neighbour's or family member's property after the button had been pressed.

Exactly how I feel. What is the point of these things if you are left for 4 hours after calling for help. People subscribe to these services to give them peace of mind but this wouldn't be what I was expecting.
