can it be saved?

I am new to impatiens, having just been given one by a neighbor. It is a double Tioga Cherry Red and was full of blooms when my neighbor got at a nursery close-out a couple of weeks ago. Still in the planter, it has been moved back and forth daily to keep it in the shade. She tired of this and gave the plant to me(today). It's blooms have almost all fallen off and the leaves, although still green, are curling up at the edges and are mottled purple on the undersides. It does have many tiny new buds developing.

I was going to repot it into an 8"(from a 6")pot and place it in a west facing, inside corner of the apartment building which will be shaded until late afternoon, then will get 1 or 2 hours of sun before dusk. This is my only outdoor option.

I'm thinking it may have been overwatered or over fertilized, but I am new to these plants. Do I have a chance of saving it? Any info is appreciated.
