Assessing the resident's risk for falls allows caregivers to take appropriate preventative measures.
Keeping the resident's area clear of clutter reduces tripping hazards and increases safety.
Using a gait belt ensures proper support and reduces the risk of falls during transfers.
Adequate lighting helps residents see their surroundings clearly, reducing the risk of falls.
Lowering the resident to the floor gently prevents further injury and minimizes harm.
Providing assistive devices like walkers or canes enables residents to move safely while remaining independent.
