"It appears she is in the early stages of dementia issues," North Port Police Department PIO Josh Taylor told Fox News Digital. "Thankfully, she did not appear to have any injuries which were serious or life-threatening."
Taylor added that the department provided Hubert's family with information for Operation Life Saver which he described as a "radio read wristband which can help us easily track those who may wander."
"We are hopeful the family takes us up on that," Taylor said.
