An 85-year old man who went missing from a Montgomery county nursing home Wednesday night was found safe Thursday, police said.
Family and friends searching a creek between Carol and Moredon Road in Abington Township spotted Charles Wilson, according to a relative of the man who was also searching for Wilson, Phillip Carroll, Jr.
Searchers stayed with Wilson until an ambulance crew arrived to transport Wilson to the hospital.
Caroll told NBC10 Wilson was alert and in relatively good spirits when emergency crews took him away.
According to the Abington Township Police Department, Charles Wilson walked away from the St. Joseph’s Manor nursing home on Huntingdon Pike about 7:30 p.m. Wednesday and was missing overnight.
Investigators said Wilson suffers from dementia.
Police confirmed Thursday afternoon that Wilson had been found safe.
