My brother, who has been sick and I'm worried about him, is usually

which is almost always full.   I visited two weeks ago and found he had
it set on DND.  I turned that off, but today it did the same thing.

If his phone were off, it would go to voicemail right away, right? or

Is there any other way it could ring 5 times and go to VM other than
DND?

 
Instead of addressing my personal life, answers to questions about
Android are what the OP solicited, since this is an Android group. 
 
Like the question just above.
 

Maybe he sets it to DND when he's sleeping and forgets to change it
back.   Is there some other settting he could use instead for sleeping?

 
And this one.

Or a way that I could get it to ring aloud for me, even when set on DND?

 
And this one.

Is there a way to keep the text notification on top until he clicks on
it?  I seem to find that they display for a second or two and then all
there is is the badge on the text icon on the homepage.

 
And especially this one.
