Key legal question
Whether the assisted-placement order satisfied the statutory and proportionality requirements despite proposed outpatient alcohol monitoring.
Extracted holding
The placement was justified because the appellant required personal assistance and care in an appropriate institution, and the proposed daily alcohol checks were not shown to be a viable alternative.
Extracted reasoning
The cantonal findings showed severe alcoholism, failed ambulatory treatment, missed appointments, lack of insight, and rapid deterioration when unsupported. Those findings made outpatient measures and the companion’s presence insufficient.
