Nursing Home Falls


While not all falls are preventable, long-term care settings should have assessments regarding whether or not falls in their facility could have been prevented. Appropriate measures need to be taken to ensure that patients are safe at all times. Such interventions may include alarms on beds, alarms on chairs, lap buddies, transfer with appropriate equipment from bed to chair and vice versa, floor mats at edges of beds, lower beds so that if patients do fall out of bed they’re less likely to be injured, and other appropriate measures.
