Various businesses provide paid service called 見守りサービス to have someone (or a machine) check up on you. The idea is to detect health emergencies early enough and act on getting help, in case family members and neighbors can't. Not that that is the best option, but at least money can help to some extent.

Even an automated phone call service to make sure someone picks up. I’m surprised it isn’t a thing.
Wellness checks are a thing that come in various flavors.
