Tamara Carter and Renita Head are questioning why the staff at Heartland of Holly Glen did not know their father, 96-year-old Golden Braswell, disappeared from their watch.
Braswell was discovered by Toledo police crews sitting in the middle of traffic in his broken down motorized wheelchair, a mile away from the nursing care facility.
Before Saturday's disappearance, the family was already fighting to get him out of the nursing home.
The daughters are concerned that their father did not have his two monitors with him (one on his wrist and the other on his wheelchair). They also believe the stories from the police and the nursing home are conflicting.
Head: "We are petitioning the court to get legal guardianship over him. We hope to take him back to Georgia to our home, to love, to nurture him and to honor him."

Anyone with a loved one in a nursing home has this worry.
I assume the dad didn't give a PoA. I hope the daughters are able to get guardianship so they can take care of their dad.
Why did the family have to fight to get their dad out of the nursing home?
Who was holding on to him and why?
Why didn't he have his monitors with him? What's the nursing home saying about that?
The first thing the judge needs to do is send this man to live with his daughters.
If the loved one disappeared from family; they would be charged with abuse and lose their loved one.
Long term cares are never a substitute for family.
The daughters should be able to just walk out the door with their father.
