The centre had been visited the previous year, meaning that this visit concentrated mainly on two units which had not been thoroughly investigated during the first. Specifically, Unit 5B (people with disabilities and behavioural disorders, known as ‘dual limitation’) and the URECO (Behavioural Rehabilitation Unit). The decision to admit a patient to the URECO, where the maximum length of stay is 12 months, is taken by a committee of professionals from the centre itself, whilst admission to Unit 5B, where there is no established maximum length of stay, is determined by the diagnosis and the branch of the Department of Social Affairs in Madrid, which funds these places.
