Welfare Check On 91-Year-Old Woman Ends in a Good Laugh



A 91-year-old woman in Westlake, Ohio, is part of a program that allows residents to sign up for a daily phone call to check in and make sure everything is okay. So, when the phone call went through and the unidentified woman didn’t answer, police were alerted to perform a welfare check. When they arrived, they rang the doorbell, but there was no answer. That’s when they used a code to open the woman’s garage door. Her car was inside, so the police became more concerned. They entered the house and made their way from room to room, until they finally reached her bedroom. It turns out the woman was fine. She had missed the calls because she was trying to beat her record in a video game. The woman was thankful that officers checked on her.
