On 20 December 2017, we visited Radenci Retirement Home. This was a review visit to this social care institution. At its 2016 visit, the NPM made 14 recommendations. At this year’s visit, it was established that 10 recommendations have been accepted and implemented, while four have been accepted but not yet implemented (in full). The NPM established that a least a partial reason for the lack of implementation lies in the rethinking of the concept of working with the residents, as the retirement home is obviously transitioning from a secure department (previously called a department with special attention) to the concept of personal monitoring. This indicates that the institution took the provided recommendations seriously and made an effort to implement or at least start to implement most of them. It is especially positive that individual changes have been made on the basis of recommendations provided at our review visit, which has (finally) allowed for the implementation of recommendations which were made at our previous visit.
