Does the way the person’s care is organised severely restrict what they can do in other ways?
An example of severe restriction would be placing the person for a large proportion of their waking time in a position which prevents them from moving (e.g. using furniture which they cannot get up from). It would not be a severe restriction to use furniture designed to keep the person safe, which they cannot get up from unaided, it they are usually able to get help to get out of it when they show a persistent or purposeful desire to do so.
