yes. it is the down side of being considered to have diminished capacity / responsibility.
just like children it places us in danger of being abused. where caretakers make decisions to profit themselves instead of us - however well intentioned they may be.
things are better now than they used to be... but still hard, yeah. every time i'm admitted there is always a battle over the hours others think is appropriate for me to keep and lack of access to things i need (books etc). always takes at least a few days for stuff like that to be sorted out.
what sorts of things are hard for you?
