Falls in long-term care settings are both a persistent problem and a significant expense. Understanding the intrinsic and extrinsic causes of falls and effective prevention methods is crucial for senior living professionals. This session will provide participants with an in-depth overview of falls in senior living environments, exploring the various and diverse risk factors and situations that contribute to them—many of which are preventable.

Attendees will learn how age, disease, and environmental hazards influence fall risks and discover that the likelihood of falls increases significantly with the number of risk factors present. The presentation will equip learners with strategies for multidisciplinary teams to collaboratively assess, select, and implement fall prevention programs tailored to their communities. Additionally, the session will cover principles of effective documentation for nursing, supporting the delivery of fall prevention services, and methods to evaluate the success of these programs.

Who Should Attend
Administrators, Nurse Leaders, Social Workers, and other personnel involved in your organization's fall prevention initiative. Appropriate for assisted living and nursing home providers..
