This isn't about fish but it's a serious emergency so I'm hoping that the mods will allow this and I'll get an answer quickly.
I'm in Canada and I'd posted here a couple of years ago asking for info on how to help an extremely elderly family friend in Woolwich. I was put in touch with the Woolwich Social Services and spoke to the Director there who said that she was in fact being taken care of and promised that he would keep an eye out for her.
I call her every year at Christmas to wish her a Merry Christmas. She's extremely frail and hard of hearing so I can't call more often as it's very difficult for her to speak on the phone and to hear what I'm saying. But for the last few years a call at Christmas has been our way of staying in touch.
This year I've called on Christmas Day, on Boxing Day, and a couple of times today but there's no answer. The telephone is ringing but she's not answering so I'm very worried about her. She doesn't have any family, she doesn't go out as she's too frail to walk very far, and her one big event every year is when a friend takes her to his family for Christmas dinner. She should be home but she's not.
I tried calling Woolwich Social Services again but the number isn't valid any more. Is there some way that I can get someone in authority, maybe a police constable, to go by the house and see if she's ok, or is there some way I can find out if she's been taken to the hospital or something?
