Personal Assist Alarm Recommendations

Looking for some personal recommendations for personal assist / emergency alarms for the elderly. 

The particular application is a person who works alone in a farm that is away from the house.

Most offerings seem to be subscription based so I am looking to see are there any good offerings in the DIY arena that I can setup myself and only have the monthly cost of a data sim card.

Thanks in advance!

Where would this device call?

We tested Guard Llama Mobile Panic essentially using the user's smartphone to broadcast relevant location details to a dispatcher.  Most mobile-PERS buttons use a similar model.  I am not familiar with one that does not ring a monitoring center and that is a 'one time' hardware buy only.

Ideally the device would SMS or Push a notification to selected people.

Guard Llama looks good but not available in the UK.

I am surprised there isn't like a clear leader in this area, a lot of options I have researched are very basic (but probably do the job they are assigned to do)
