88 9. Persons deprived of their liberty at the places of detention visited by the NPM The two eldest residents (a man and a woman) were aged 88 while the youngest was 25. There were 5 other residents (4 men and 1 woman) in their twenties living in the Institution. Most of the residents were aged between 50 and 70, but the Institution looked after persons in other age groups as well. According to the statement submitted to me by the Institution, 23 residents’ legal capacity to act was not restricted, but one of them was assisted by a supporter in decision-making. 101 residents were under fully restrictive guardianship,178 whereas 112 were under partially restrictive guardianship.179 In the case of 4 additional residents under guardianship, the type of guardianship was not indicated. During the preliminary care preceding a person’s moving-in, the staff members of the Institution visited the would-be resident in his/her home or at the hospital treating him/her. Apart from some minor discrepancies on the data sheet, the visiting delegation did not remark any fundamentalrights-related impropriety in relation to the preliminary care procedure. The majority of the residents were admitted by the Institution at the request of their relatives, in relation to which I called the head of the institution’s attention to Article 19 of the CRPD about living independently and being included in the community. There were 8 rooms on each of the two storeys of both Building B and Building C where the residents were accommodated. In both buildings, there was a wing for men and a wing for women, and both buildings could accommodate 120 residents. The placement of residents was arbitrary, on the basis of places becoming vacant; the only criterion was that residents confined to a wheelchair would be lodged on the ground floor. Both buildings were equipped with a lift; however, the one in Building C had been out of order for about one and a half years. The use of the A residential room in the Integrated Social Care Institution of South Borsod 178 179 See Section 2 (21) of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code. See Section 2 (19) of Act V of 2013 on the Civil Code.
