Local News in Brief : Missing Alzheimer’s Patient, 78, Found
Searchers found a 78-year-old woman suffering from Alzheimer’s disease early Monday--more than a day after she wandered away from her daughter’s house in Lennox, authorities said.
Mable Greenwood was apparently in good physical condition when police found her near Slauson and Denker avenues about 1:30 a.m. Monday.
Officers were called to the area by someone who had seen a photograph of Greenwood on a television newscast Sunday night.
Alzheimer’s is a degenerative disease of the central nervous system that robs its victims of their memories and other cognitive functions.
