Transfers are a common source of falls—even when supporting aids are in use. Which begs the question, are the right aids being used with the right residents, and in the right way? Join us for August’s National Fall Huddle, when special guest Kari Harbaugh, Senior Product Consultant at Direct Supply, helps lead the discussion of all things transfer aids, including which aid to use when, the different considerations for different types of aids, and the best practices for each. We’ll also discuss communication strategies for encouraging residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia to participate more easily in transfers, reducing fall risk and increasing safety. And we’ll demonstrate how technology can help develop desired behavior more quickly—which is critical for memory care residents who have difficulty identifying safety hazards and learning to use new aids. Register now to join us.

78% of falls happen between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. And the most common location prior to falls is the bed. But care providers have limited time to offer effective training programs to help prevent these falls—they need fall prevention strategies that both provide results and that staff can learn quickly. That’s why SafelyYou has developed the Top 5 Fall Prevention Tactics You Can Train in 15 Minutes, so care providers can educate staff in minimal time and help reduce the risk of unwitnessed falls by the bedside. Learn all about it in our March National Fall Huddle.

Watch our latest webinar to learn about fall patterns in senior living, including how time of day plays a role in fall events. For example, do you know the connection between napping and falls? Watch the webinar to find out. We cover that and more, with discussions around sundowning and fall frequency, medication management, and how shift changes and resident rounding impact falls.

Mobility aids play a role in falls—and fall prevention. That’s why our October National Fall Huddle is all about walkers, wheelchairs, and canes, covering everything you need to know to use them safely and reduce fall risk.

Kari Harbaugh, Direct Supply’s Product Consultant, joins the SafelYou fall experts for this session to discuss how a person-centered approach to bed size, type, and features can promote better quality sleep, safer transfers, and fewer falls.

Technology is not the “end all, be all” problem-solver, but in this webinar with partner, Church Mutual Insurance Company, S.I. (a stock insurer)1, we’ll share how to find the right balance of digital and human interactions to maximize your investment, elevate your programs while reducing risks, and produce results.
