Fall prevention and management policy revised 1/2024 states in general that the facility is committed to
maximizing each resident's physical, mental and psychosocial well-being. While preventing all falls is not
possible, the facility will identify and evaluate those residents at risk for falls, plan preventive strategies, and
facilitate as safe an environment as possible. All resident falls shall be reviewed, and the resident's existing
care plan shall be evaluated and modified as needed. Under guidelines, the policy states in part: 1. A fall
risk evaluation will be completed on admission, readmission, and quarterly, significant change and after
each fall. 2. Residents at risk for falls will have fall risks identified on the interim plan of care with
interventions implemented to minimize fall risk.
