"Ivo assesses that the living environment has an institution-like character as apartment doors are provided with peepholes and doors through which monitoring and communication takes place with residents," the authority writes in a new decision.

SVT has previously told about the man who was locked up, according to the municipality as a protective measure.

But despite the fact that the municipality has reported measures, there are a number of shortcomings in the remaining operations.

Among other things, this involves unauthorized lock-ins for more of the residents - but also a lack of competence among the staff, shortcomings in the staffing and inadequate knowledge of the law.

Locked up due to staffing

According to Ivo's review, more of the residents are locked up from time to time, often without there being any documented consent.

In the evenings, none of the five people have the opportunity to leave their apartments and get out to common areas.

The reason should instead be a lack of staff at night.

- I do not think that is true, but I need to check it out, says Carola Dahlqvist, care and welfare manager at Växjö municipality.

She has received the decision today and has not had time to check the information in Ivo's criticism.

As for the autistic man, most of the efforts have consisted of instructions given through doors in the doors.

Has he not been outside the building for three years - except on a fenced patio.

Retention

It must also have happened that residents have been detained or closed down to protect the staff.

But none of these situations have been reported.

"The fact that these situations have not been reported as deviations or malpractices is considered by Ivo to be serious because it was not then investigated whether the measures were justified."

"Can to some extent agree"

Your accommodation is similar to an institution according to Ivo.

What do you think about it?

- To some extent I can agree and we are looking at that.

For example, we are talking about building new.

Then it is the case that those who live there have very complex needs and have an intellectual level of function that is low, says Carola Dahlqvist.

There is no reason not to follow the law, is there?

- It is clear that we must follow the law.

But we will always need protective measures, otherwise they can not stay in a group home.

The municipality must have reported its measures by 20 June.

SVT has previously also talked to a relative of the man, hear him tell in the clip below.
