BTW Allan, there has been a "lack of activity" function available on at least one popular security panel line for quite a few years.
The system counts the number of hours a given zone (motion detector, cupboard door, whatever) has not been violated during a
disarmed period.  If there's no activity the zone can trigger an output or signal.

The design purpose of this "watchdog" feature is to warn of a failed sensor.  However, with a little creative thought you could use
it for elder care.
