The Restricted Resource Dilemma: Managing Falls with Less
Description
Resource shortages—from staffing to budget cuts—will be top challenges across the senior living industry, affecting memory care, assisted living, and skilled nursing. So, we’re kicking off our National Fall Huddle webinar series by discussing how to manage with less, yet still provide crucial care and support for residents and patients—including maintaining critical fall management programs. We’ll look at ways to improve and advance fall management, even when resources are tapped. And we’ll discuss free tools that are available to help staff be more efficient and effective, elevating the standard of care while easing staff burden. As always, we’ll also conduct new live fall huddles, sharing fall prevention best practices you can take back to make an immediate impact in your communities and facilities.
Webinar Learning Objectives:
- Learn how resource shortages are impacting the senior living industry
- Discuss tools that are available to support and ease the burden on care staff
- Prepare for 2022 with best practices for fall prevention
- Get your questions answered by our fall prevention expert panelists
