During the visits in 2013, the representatives of the Mechanism repeatedly
noted the problem consisting in restrictions on the residents’ going out of the
Social Care Centre. The most Centres in this respect accepted the solution, that
only persons not-threatening oneself or others can independently to go out Centre, while going out by residents in bad physical and mental condition are being
carried out in the company of the carer207. Several visited Centres208 decided to
allow going out for incapacitated persons only under the care of family members, the person from the Staff or volunteer, while in one Centre209 incapacitated
residents can go out only under the condition of obtaining the agreement of
a legal guardian.
