Where more than one residence is operated in the same building, one of which is a category 4 residence, a specific security device to monitor the arrivals and departures of residents of the category 4 residence must be installed.
The operator must also complete an information sheet, with a resident prone to wandering or the resident’s representative, if applicable, describing the resident’s general profile and physical characteristics, and accompanied by a recent photograph.
Once completed, the information sheet must be kept in the file referred to in section 57.
The security devices referred to in the first and second paragraphs may be deactivated when there is no resident prone to wandering in the residence.
