"She can chat away but won't completely understand what's being said.

"We have let the bus and taxi companies know she is missing and officers are checking CCTV.

"We need to find her as soon as possible."

Officers and staff from the nursing home are searching the local area for her.

Janet is white, 5ft 5in, very thin, and has short grey hair.

She was last seen at the nursing home wearing a dark green jacket, dark trousers, red and white Michael Kors socks, black shoes and a navy beanie hat.
