Her age and deficits that led to her not being released also be a factor.
Dusk is the time she is most likely to return. You can bring her cage outdoors and she might return to the space she recognizes. Food and water are good lures, but once it gets dark she is unlikely to move from whatever spot she is hunkered down in. Is there bad weather in the forecast for your area?
If she does not return this evening, I'd be out there 15 minutes before sunrise calling and searching for her.
