    As News 5 Cleveland reports, the unnamed Westlake, Ohio woman is part of the city’s “Are You Okay?” police program. Members of the program receive daily calls to confirm their wellbeing – a godsend for elderly or disabled people living alone, for instance.

    “If the call is not answered, the Police Department is notified and an officer is dispatched to the home to conduct a personal check-in visit,” the Westlake police department’s website explains.
