If the Court determines, pursuant to subsections (a) and (b) of this subsection [sic], that a respondent should not be committed to a facility, the Court may order that the respondent undergo such nonresidential habilitation and care as may be appropriate, necessary, and available, or it may order no habilitation and care. sic For persons whose admission to facilities has been questioned under § 7-1303.02 , the Court shall enter an appropriate order as set forth under that section.
