7 and is organized according to an individualized approach. Events regularly take place at the house in which residents are able to participate. During the week, the children's play group of the municipality of Eschen also visits the inner courtyard of the house. The members of the NPM also gained the impression that St. Martin House is strongly characterised by the right of the residents to self-determination. To the extent their health permits, residents are able to move freely inside and outside the house. If, in individual cases due to endangerment of themselves or others, measures restricting the freedom of a resident are indicated, then these measures are implemented in the gentlest way possible and documented by the responsible nursing staff themselves in consultation with the resident or the responsible physician. The members of the NPM were informed that movement sensors have been used more frequently in recent years. Only in a few cases are body straps or bed barriers used in order to protect the resident. The Liechtenstein Elderly and Care Service, in cooperation with qualified specialists, have developed a guideline for how nursing staff are to implement measures restricting movement. Based on this guideline, interventions in the freedom of movement of persons capable of exercising judgment are always undertaken only in consultation with the person concerned. In the case of persons not capable of exercising judgment, the measure is undertaken in consultation with the treating general practitioner and the person's legal representative (guardian). Only in emergency situations can the responsible licensed nurse autonomously order restrictive measures. These measures must be verified in accordance with the guidelines mentioned above within 24 hours if possible, but at the latest on the following work day, and discussed with the responsible persons. As a matter of principle, the necessity of all measures restricting movement must be reviewed within three months. The NPM welcomes that the persons responsible for St. Martin House are guided by the aforementioned guidelines of the Liechtenstein Elderly and Care Service when undertaking measures restricting movement and thus follow modern professional standards of quality. These standards are only soft law, however. So far, there has been no legal foundation governing the restriction of freedom of persons in retirement and nursing facilities in
