Institutions for persons with disabilities mit Behinderungen 2019”, p. 33). The need for hygiene and order can vary in persons with as well as without disabilities. Imposing certain uniform obligations by regulatory authorities therefore requires objective justification. The NPM contacted the regional government of Lower Austria regarding this matter and requested clarification. The regional government emphasised that there are no general hygiene guidelines for residential facilities or day care centres for persons with disabilities in Lower Austria. The measures mentioned had to do with rules that were imposed in connection with dirt observed in an isolated concrete case. They have since been changed again in accordance with the intervention of the commission after a meeting with representatives of the facility. From the point of view of the NPM, supervisory bodies are for their part – regardless of whether they issue restrictions in individual cases or general guidelines – required to observe the UN CRPD. Official decrees shall be drafted in a way that they do not limit the independence of persons with disabilities. For the future, care shall be taken to ensure that official orders are not in conflict with the objectives of the UN CRPD. XX 2.4.7  Practical hygiene aids can contribute to living an independent life for persons with disabilities. As long as there are no infectious diseases or illnesses that weaken the immune system, special hygiene measures do not have to be observed in institutions and facilities for persons with disabilities. Preferences of the residents must be taken into account in the choice of hygiene products. Necessary precautions for barring orders and prohibitions to enter Last year, the NPM reported about a young man with multiple severe disabilities who was removed by the police from his long-standing residential facility in Upper Austria and served a barring order after an aggressive incident. The operator of the home terminated the home contract and new accommodation had to be found quasi overnight, which proved to be difficult. Another case was presented of a young man who, after an outburst in relation to an impulse control disorder and the following police operation, had to leave a residential facility in Klagenfurt abruptly. The search for a suitable residential care alternative lasted several months. During this time, the mother of the man, who was stretched far beyond her physical and mental limits, was left completely alone with the problem because all facilities in Carinthia refused to admit her son (see NPM Report 2018, p. 100). The social support and disability aid laws of the Laender only grant the legal right to a place but not to a place in a specific facility. 100
