The San Diego Police Department has issued an urgent appeal to the public in search of Azucena Horta Cuentas, a The Shores Post-Acute Nursing Home resident who went missing yesterday. According to a social media post from the San Diego Police Department, the 47-year-old woman was last seen at the nursing facility at 2828 Meadow Lark Dr. around 4 PM.

Described as a Hispanic female, standing at 5’5”, weighing approximately 230lbs, with neck length brown hair and brown eyes, Cuentas is also diabetic with a diminished mental capacity. This elevates the urgency of her situation, and the San Diego PD considers her at risk. The missing woman is believed to have been wearing a red sweatshirt adorned with black polka dots, grey sweatpants, and potentially, a medical-style bracelet containing her contact information.

The San Diego Police Department has requested anyone with insights into Cuentas’ current whereabouts to step forward and assist in their ongoing efforts to locate her. In their social media outreach, officials have emphasized the immediate need for community support by providing a dedicated phone line, 619-531-2000, to collect tips and leads, referring to the case number 25-500633 for efficiency in communication and case tracking.
