It's usually a call like "my mom lives at this address and she hasn't called in the past few days. We usually talk at least once a day and I can't get in touch with her, can you go check to see if she is okay?"

Usually...

Someone had concerns about the welfare of this l;ady... so I guess they call it that. ( is my guess) LOL

Does anyone know what a "Check on Welfare" call is?
