Annual Report 2012: Spain’s National Preventive Mechanism The facilities that have not been adapted or that are inappropriate must be improved The maximum number of persons per bedroom should be two A call bell system must be installed The emergency and evacuation plans should be complied with 150 207. Renovation work must be carried out to improve certain structures that are not appropriate, such as the hallway windows of the three buildings, which open inwards, thus entailing a risk for residents as they go past a window, and the in­ terior windows which are not protected, although nets have been put up in the interior courtyards to prevent the risk of falls. 208. The vast majority of bedrooms in the center are single or double, although it was noted that one of the buildings has a few triple bedrooms. Given the cent­ er’s current level of occupancy, which is below its total capacity, necessary meas­ ures should be adopted so that the maximum number of persons per bedroom be two. 209. The bedrooms for patients do not have an alarm or call bell system, and this should be corrected. 210. Although all the buildings have emergency and evacuation plans, the main doors of these buildings are locked at night to prevent residents from exiting. In this respect, a solution must be adopted in accordance with the emergency and evacuation plans. THE OMBUDSMAN OF SPAIN
