43 A significant number of beneficiaries in institutions for social protection is completely isolated from the regular social environment resulting in eventual loss of their social and other skills and becoming less competent of living independently. The above stated, taking into account accommodation conditions which do not meet current standards as such - can be a source of individual cases of torture, and whatever the case may be, it represents inhuman and degrading treatment. During the visits to the residential social care institutions it was observed that a significant number of beneficiaries in them are PDLs on a long term basis (locked or otherwise restrained), even though current regulations do not assume such a possibility. In this regard, it is necessary to establish the legal framework, particularly taking into account the protection of fundamental human rights of residents. The current practice of placing beneficiaries in residential social care institutions holds inadequate causal connection between his deprivation of capacity to exercise rights and his placement in the institution. With regard to persons deprived of legal capacity in the future it is necessary to take their views into account regarding placement in stationary institutions. If the person does not agree with his placement in the institution, he/she has the status of a PDLs hence his detention in the institution must have a legal basis. The accommodation conditions in social protection institutions vary, both within an institution and among institutions. Some accommodation facilities are in a rather good condition, whereas the other in very bad. Staff pointed out deficiencies in the financing system of labor of institutions. There is an evident lack of staff of many different backgrounds, from nurses, to physicians, educators, psychologists and doctors. Insufficient number of physiatrists and physical therapists has led to the neglect of the needs of beneficiaries who are immobile. Irregularities in documenting and performing restraint measures (tying) of disturbed/ violent persons were identified. In some institutions, it was found that certain people were detained in continued isolation, solitude, in the absence of regular supervision of professional staff, in poor conditions, without access or with limited access to running water and toilet, which represents an act of ill-treatment. Actions taken to reduce the number of users are evident however this process is slow and is focused mainly on juveniles. It is essential to create conditions more rapidly so more beneficiaries, who are placed in stationary type social protection institutions, are taken care for in the community and are closer to their families.
