Hi Julie glad you found it, I was just looking for the link to send to you. Did you get the whole booklet produced by the Australian Commission on Safety and Quality in Healthcare ? Its called A Guidebook For Preventing Falls and Harm From Falls in Older People : Australian Community Care. Its a valuable resource . Have a nice day Nicole
A colleague referred this resource to assist in implementing our activities program many years ago. I felt, I had struck 'gold.' It has been immeasurable in assisting to provide new material and ideas to stimulate our clients. I will be a member for my working life. Thank you!
