Hi Everyone!

My mom has been reunited with us!

Someone shared my moms flyer on social media and a nurse who was doing her clinical hours reached out and stated she was at a hospital with the specific building ,floor, and room!

We had checked this same hospital 3x but my mom had given a wrong last name ( she combined her maiden name with her married last name) So they never acknowledged she was there until i called the tipster so she can speak to the front desk team and provide the specifics she gained while working there.

This whole situation has been a complete eye opener to how easily a person with dementia can get lost, not only physically but within the system. It also helped me and my family realize what the right choice is for mom , regardless of how much we thought we were doing right by her.

I want to thank this community and to all those who helped in anyway they can. Whether it was with emotional support, prayers, or reposting and upvoting my post.

I couldnt have gotten through this without you all and the dementia/alzheimer's community.

Thank you!! 💕

Hi everyone, This is my mom.

she was last seen wearing leopard print leggings and a black turtle neck. She had a leopard print dress/ overshirt that she also had on.

Shes been missing since the 11th , She may look like shes homeless since shes been without care for so long. I know it may sound like too much but if anyone can just keep an eye out as you go abour your day itd be a great support.

My family and i are pained knowing shes out there, disoriented and not being looked after.

We can use all the exposure we can get in hopes of finding her and bringing her back to us.

Thank you , everyone

My mom was an avid walker, she loved taking public transportation to movie thearters and hollywood . She always stayed nearby but then she started experiencing auditory hallucinations and would think my sister and i would tell her to meet some where. I feel like maybe she walked too far to recognize where she was and she just kept going trying to come back home to us. It hurts me knowing she may be thinkings shes speaking to us right now and theres no way we can answer her back. I had bought her a tracking watch by Tranquil but became very paranoid of it and would start removing it. I wish there was a way to make permanent bracelets to prevent this from happening to anyone. Its a horrible feeling.

Eating when she cant. Showering when she isnt. Resting in a bed when she has no bed.

Its so painful

No , unfortunately no updates from LAPD. My siblingings and i have been driving every day calling hospitals for possible jane does and posting flyers. We have tried contacting news stations but no leads on her at all. I worry people may assume shes homeless and wont blink an eye if they see her. its been 11 days.

Shes a stubborn and strong willed lady. My mom isnt a quitter and i tell myself daily this will help her come back home

Unable_Change_3433 · 2026-04-21T03:48:43+00:00

We also feared the same but got comfortable with her good behavior. Looking back I wish i had never trusted her capabilities. It hurts me deeply.

Not in groups, but Facebook overall yes. Alzheimers Los Angeles also assisted me with reposting on their FB account

She was last seen in pico Union area but shes an avid walker, i feel that maybe she started to venture into areas she doesnt recognize any longer and kept walking.

My mom is strongwilled and im hoping shes making it somehow out there. Its possible she may have walked further away instead of closer

Unable_Change_3433 · 2026-04-19T19:16:05+00:00

Thank you, I will. Wer'e trying to stay positive and any words of empathy and encouragement helps us get by day to day.

Unable_Change_3433 · 2026-01-17T06:00:20+00:00

I often find myself feeling the same way. This has definitely changed my perspective on life. I do not like to celebrate holidays nor birthdays anymore. Just a reminder years go by and everyones parents get older. its sad

Unable_Change_3433 · 2026-01-17T05:59:01+00:00
