That's what I was thinking too. While it may be a large nursing home, it still seems pretty odd to me that a nursing home would send out somebody who wouldn't recognize the resident to go find him when he went missing. Seriously, "old man in red shirt and blue pants" isn't very much to go by when you're trying to find someone you've never seen before.

i work in a nursing home and if an elopement risk goes missing, they send all extra staff (kitchen, laundry, house-cleaning, receptionists, CNAs, etc) to search the premises. All we have to go on for the elopement risks are a black and white picture posted in the offices. If a non-elopement risk goes missing, there is nothing to go by besides what we are told.

i volunteered at a nursing home for a while, and it was huge. employees only knew residents from their assigned residences. i was constantly having problems the OP's bc you couldn't tell which residents were completely with it. and sometimes they'd go from cogent to confused in a matter of seconds.

...if you're dyslexic, you mix up letters, not colors.

not true. My mom who is dyslexic mixs up mustard and ketchup as well as left and right. Not her numbers or letters. (or colors)

Really? Oh, lol, my baddddd. :)
