Facilities of youth welfare and nursing homes
To the facilities already listed are added another 16 facilities for closed accommodation of
children and juveniles on the basis of a judicial ruling28, as well as roughly 11,000 nursing
homes.29 With regard to these, the Commission of the Länder has still not yet received any
detailed information from all Federal Länder on the number of facilities. Among the nursing
homes, however, only those which have closed wings which the patients may not leave are
relevant to the Commission of the Länder. A precise number has hence not yet been finally
ascertained. None of these facilities had yet been visited in the period under review.
