I don't think so. I believe there is some information why Emily was sent there but none indicates she was in trouble. Think about the time period when the story is set.
I see now. The problem developed at home whilst not being directly stated, it seemed to me that she was disoriented from the family. Stand-Up comedy is her go to gimic that brings somewhat of a joy to her. The reason she was sent to the convalescent home was because she appeared to have an eating disorder. She was never hungry. The convalesvent home with more like rehab for illnesses apart from drug addiction. The character herself really caught my attention because I feel I relate in someways. Especially at that age range. It seemed like a containment area due to the sign "Not To Be Contaminated by Parental Germs or Physical Affection."(Olsen,6) She could be portrayed as anorexic or simply have psychiatric problems
