Family members, friends and law enforcement officials are continuing their search for a 78-year-old woman with dementia who has been missing for four days and needs medication.

*****
“My mom is 78 years old. She has aphasia, which is a form of dementia that makes language recall difficult,” her daughter, Sharone Goldman, told KTLA. “She might know where she lives, but she might not have the language recall due to the aphasia to communicate it to others.”

*****
Goldman said her mother has not left her home alone in several years and definitely needs assistance.

*****
The volunteer search and rescue organization Hatzolah Los Angeles said Litvin was tracked to a bus stop near Wilshire Boulevard and believes she may be riding Metro buses and trains throughout Los Angeles in an attempt to get home.

Her daughter says she's normally homebound, and her husband takes care of her, but she left her home the morning of April 14 without her phone or wallet.

She was spotted as recently as Saturday in the area of Union Station in Downtown L.A., but she still hasn't returned home.

"I just ask for people to pray, and ask for people to see just Jeannie coming home. If they see her on the street, to say, 'Jeannie Litvin, I know you, Jeannie Litvin.' And try to get her to stay while they call Hatzolah or the police," said Sharone Goldman, Litvin's daughter.

The family is working with the Jewish community rescue group Hatzolah. They're asking anyone who sees Litvin to call Hatzolah at 800-613-1911, or call Los Angeles police.
