My wife's mom is in a assisted living facility, right in the middle of Hollywood. (Next to the Hollywood Bowl). She suffers from dementia. She told the staff that she needed to go see her father (who has been dead for over 40 years). This is a common thing with my wife's mom.
They went to check on her later this morning, and she is missing. They have closed the nursing home, and have gone through it and re-gone through it. They have checked neighboring buildings. Nothing. The fear is that she may have jumped into a cab, without her glasses, purse, coat, etc.
Please keep my wife (Julie) and myself in your thoughts, prayers, etc.
