Alzheimer’s care facility resident on loose

gloria.jpgA 64-year-old woman was still missing today after walking away from an Alzheimer’s care facility in Redwood City Tuesday, the Mercury News reported.

The woman, Gloria Morrow, has diabetes and requires medication. She is said to have “slight dementia” so I have the feeling she would respond when asked her name. So if you’re in the mid-Peninsula area and see a heavy-set 5′3″ African American woman who looks lost, ask her if her name is Gloria, and contact Redwood City Police.


This happened once to my wife’s mother, who had Alzheimer’s; she was missing for about 5 hours and had walked about 2 miles before she was found. So I know a little bit about how much her family must be worried. I can’t imagine how freaked out they must be after three days!
