F 0689 Level of Harm - Minimal harm or potential for actual harm Residents Affected - Few changes made for the prevention of falls.The facility's Fall Policy (no date) showed the facility seeks to promote an active and healthy lifestyle with respect, dignity and security for each resident as a whole. Falls are the leading cause of injury-related death for those [AGE] years of age and older. Falls can also lead to severe complications including hip fractures, traumatic brain injury and premature death. As all falls cannot be prevented, the facility strives to minimize potential injury by identifying common fall risk factors and developing individualized care plan interventions that focus on maintaining a person's independence and mobility function to the best of their ability. The facility assesses all residents and evaluates fall situations as well as potential fall/injury situations in order to achieve this goal. 145495 Page 2 of 2
