As discussed during the dispatch call, officers conducted a welfare check at a home on North Washington Street after hospital staff reported concern about an elderly woman who lives alone and was not answering calls. A dark green Ford that was usually under the carport was not there, and officers reported the home appeared empty and that she might be out of town.
