This is very common for psyche wards. It would be on a door to get over to the staff area or leave the building. The code is the building's address, which everyone will know on the way into work but no one 'staying there' will know.

This is very common for psyche wards.

Memory wards, not psyche wards. Important difference.

A psychiatric patient would be able to read and understand the sign, and could then easily escape. A patient with Alzheimer’s or other advanced dementia cannot.

(Source: I spent a few days in a psychiatric ward when I was younger and depressed, and have had multiple grandparents on memory floors at nursing homes.)
