The NPM recommended that the staff of Lambrecht Retirement Home in Slovenske Konjice write only information which is not personal on the notice board next to residents’ beds, or which does not encroach on residents’ integrity, so that its disclosure would not be harmful to the resident or even contrary to legislation. In their reply to the preliminary report, the management explained that they were aware that the integrity of every resident must be protected. Only information which was not sensitive and did not affect personal integrity was posted on notice boards next to beds, e.g. schedules for physiotherapy treatments and occupational therapy, warnings about diet, resident’s wishes on the arrangement of their belongings etc. Control visits to retirement homes in 2016 The observance of a total of 106 recommendations provided during previous regular visits to the institutions was verified.
