that the management contact the advocate or the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities to provide educational material (posters, brochures and similar) for residents. In their reply to the preliminary report, the management of the home explained that the staff had put up a list of mental health advocates and their contact information in a visible location, as per the recommendation, and also provided educational material for residents. The NPM recommended that the list of advocates according to the ZDZdr be displayed on notice boards or in another suitable and visible place in Črnuče Retirement Home. In their reply to the preliminary report, the management of the home stated that lists of advocates as per the ZDZdr would be displayed on all notice boards on all floors, in addition to the notice board in the home’s clinic where the list was already displayed. The NPM recommended that Črnuče Retirement Home inform their residents of the possibility of contacting a mental health advocate. In their reply to the preliminary report, the management of the home stated that lists of advocates as per the ZDZdr would be displayed on all notice boards on all floors, in addition to the notice board in the home’s clinic where the list was already displayed. The NPM recommended that Danijel Halas Home in Velika Polana inform their residents of the possibility of contacting a mental health advocate. We also repeated the recommendation made during our previous visit to this institution that a list of mental health advocates and their contact information be displayed in a visible place (notice board) in the home. We also proposed that the management contact the advocate or the Ministry of Labour, Family, Social Affairs and Equal Opportunities to provide educational material (posters, brochures and similar) for residents. In their reply to the preliminary report, the management explained that they had put up a notice board. The NPM recommended that relatives be included in preparing individual plans in Ribnica Retirement Home. Due to their illnesses, residents are frequently unable to speak about themselves, their past and skills from the active periods of their lives. When drafting individual plans, the relatives may be of great help to the staff, thus making their inclusion sensible and necessary. In their reply to the preliminary report, the management of the home stated that relatives would be more included in the drafting of individual plans. They had already prepared a draft letter, which would be submitted to all relatives. Secure ward The NPM determined that the organisation of the ward in Trubar Retirement Home, where persons with progressive dementia were accommodated, was not compliant with the legislation. Regarding the organisation of the ward, which restricts movement, the NPM proposed that the status of the relevant ward be arranged as soon as possible. The NPM suggested to Trubar Retirement Home that it act according to the ZDZdr and inform the court regarding persons unable to leave the home of their own free will, persons who would be under such a regime in future, and persons determined in Article 2 of the ZDZdr who fail to give, or are unable to give, consent as per Article 74 of the ZDZdr. We suggested that the home inform us about its conduct regarding detained persons and informing the court, and also whether the court fails to decide on notifications or instigate proceedings.
