Staff failed to notice her absence for over three hours, despite an unsecured rear door. The center now faces a deadline to transfer patients to other facilities, with a temporary manager overseeing the process. Investigators discovered numerous violations, including inadequate safety measures and lack of proper medical coverage, leading to the facilitys closure.
