207. Renovation work must be carried out to improve certain structures that are
not appropriate, such as the hallway windows of the three buildings, which open
inwards, thus entailing a risk for residents as they go past a window, and the in
terior windows which are not protected, although nets have been put up in the
interior courtyards to prevent the risk of falls.
208. The vast majority of bedrooms in the center are single or double, although
it was noted that one of the buildings has a few triple bedrooms. Given the cent
er’s current level of occupancy, which is below its total capacity, necessary meas
ures should be adopted so that the maximum number of persons per bedroom be
two.
209. The bedrooms for patients do not have an alarm or call bell system, and
this should be corrected.
210. Although all the buildings have emergency and evacuation plans, the main
doors of these buildings are locked at night to prevent residents from exiting. In
this respect, a solution must be adopted in accordance with the emergency and
evacuation plans.
