A fall is an event in which an individual unintentionally comes to rest on the ground, floor, or other level, but not as a result of an overwhelming external force (e.g., resident pushes another resident). The event may be witnessed, reported, or presumed when a resident is found on the floor or ground, and can occur anywhere. Policy Explanation and Compliance Guidelines: 1. The facility utilizes a standardized risk assessment for determining a resident's fall risk.
