Draconator Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 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.
Like A Mofo Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Draconator, my thoughts and prayers are with you and your wife Julie

In NY it's the State Department Of Health, and report what you have here. Also ask if the facility has a wander alert system like Roam Alert, and if they do, why did it fail. Alert the media to. Basically make as much noise as you can till someone is found at fault.
The Dean Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 You got mine Drac. Keep us informed. Never mind the a-holes.
Chef Jim Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 I'm not in to that prayer thing, but correct me if I'm wrong, I don't think they prayers should go out to your wife. They should be going out to the woman wandering around lost in Hollywood.
buffaloboyinATL Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Prayers out to the whole family. 585921[/snapback] Amen. Let us know when they find her. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
Draconator Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 Thank you to whoever cleaned up the mess that was in here earlier. Thank you for all your concerns. My wife's mom was found riding on an L.A. City Bus. The L.A. County Sheriff found her. They're bringing her back to the nursing home, where a new room is being prepared for her in the Altimezher's wing as we speak.
The Dean Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Well that's a relief. The LA city bus? That should have been a tip off right there...NOBODY in their right mind takes the bus in LA. Glad she is safe, Drac.

VABills Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Serious question, how did she pay the fare? 586090[/snapback] Was she under the seat on the bus is what I want to know. And was there an old Harry Chapin looking guy with her?
Buford T. Justice Posted January 27, 2006 Posted January 27, 2006 Was she under the seat on the bus is what I want to know. And was there an old Harry Chapin looking guy with her? 586093[/snapback] She was just looking for a little fun. http://www.superlaughecards.com/1/gdance.htm (Probably NSFW)
Draconator Posted January 27, 2006 Author Posted January 27, 2006 Serious question, how did she pay the fare? 586090[/snapback] You know, that is a good question. Her purse, ID, glasses, etc. were left in her room.
