How a north Auckland woman disappeared from a specialist dementia care rest home is under investigation.

Maree Wilkins, 85, was last seen around 5.30pm on November 7 at her Leigh Road Cottage residential care centre home.

She was reported missing at 8.20am the following morning.

Police and concerned residents scoured the surrounding Whangateau bush and coastal areas, but no one found a trace of Wilkins.

The search has now been suspended.

Ministry of Health HealthCert manager Emma Prestidge said Agape Care Warkworth Limited, owned by joint shareholders Tan-li and Peter Kwong Yew Chiew, which runs Leigh Road Cottage, would be conducting an internal investigation.
