Moorhead police say a 72-year-old woman
with dementia fell from the third-floor window of a senior care
center early Friday.


      Lt. Jim Nielsen said the woman lives on a secure floor and was
trying to leave to visit a relative.


      Nielsen said she pushed out a window screen and lowered herself out
of the window before falling 18 to 20 feet about 1 a.m. Friday.


      Officers arrived to find the care center staff treating the
woman on the canopy over a patio on the south side of the building.


      Police said she was taken to MeritCare Hospital for injuries that
did not appear to be life-threatening.
