High Court affirms the continuation of a woman's residence at a specialised care facility, upholding previous orders that regulate family access and restrict her from leaving unaccompanied, due to concerns for her safety and well-being. The court found that the woman, who has moderate intellectual disabilities and a history of aggressive behavior, would likely deteriorate in condition and pose immediate risks to herself and others if not detained in the placement.
