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.
