Brain Booster - How To Reduce Falls In Care Homes

Understanding how to reduce falls in care homes is vital for ensuring resident safety and well-being. Both indoor and outdoor environments play a significant role in preventing falls. Falls can cause physical injuries and negatively impact psychological and social well-being, often leading to reduced activity and increased isolation. Unfamiliar surroundings may also decrease confidence, making movement less safe. By focusing on how to reduce falls in care homes, providers can create supportive spaces that encourage mobility, boost confidence, and enhance residents' quality of life.

Fusion Brain Boosters have been designed as quick, easy reference documents suitable for any staff member working in a care home. These can be used to reinforce awareness and increase knowledge in various areas associated with healthcare. Some information may be new, or it could be simply refreshing information already gained. These can be printed off and put on a staff noticeboard, used as supervision documents (either in 121’s or in group settings) or as reflective documents to encourage discussion within teams in the care setting. Please share these with your colleagues and we would love to get your feedback using the buttons below…….
