Long-term Deprivation of Liberty Occupational therapy room in one of the Photograph 47 buildings Physiotherapy room in one Photograph 48 of the buildings 184. During the inspection visit the team was able to see different activities car­ ried out at the «San José» Residence as part of the daily routine and to verify that the center has a policy of treating residents in a dignified and respectful manner. The personnel’s kind, close relationship with patients, confirmed by the latter, was particularly evident. Likewise, relatives that were interviewed expressed their satisfaction for the good care and treatment their loved ones received in the residence. As evidence of the good practices at the center in respect to the way in which patients are treated, the case of a patient suffering from organic brain dis­ order, which caused him to try to destroy everything in his room, to fill it with excrement, etc., is noteworthy. Following several attempts to control him without having to use physical restraints not based on medical prescription, the center invested a significant amount of money to adapt a room to the resident’s needs, with elements that withstand better the destructive action and are easier to clean.
