I’m a caregiver with a 23 y/o disabled adult (Cerebral Palsy & blind), and this morning at 4am, police were called to the house due to the SOS emergency call feature on an old iPhone Xr he’s got. We are 90% sure he’s holding both buttons to make the swipe option come up, but I was wondering if there’s any way to make this obsolete? or are we going to have to go through the painstaking process of taking away the phone for only iPods & iPads?

No. That feature is required by law and cannot be disabled. They’re not legally allowed to make it disableable.
All cell phones are required by law to be able to make emergency calls
