We are looking for a risk assessment. It could be a general one but need to incorporate falls. We have a care plan thought this could be written into mobility. This is for centre based day care. Any suggestions.

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
I co-own and operate a small assisted living home in Pittsfield, NH (U.S.A.). We consistently seek ways to improve upon our senior activity program, providing a diversified balance of a purposeful and enjoyable time of recreation, crafting, exercise and others to reach all of our residents. I must say, it's been a challenge. This past October I began researching options online and came across your site, subscribing for a year to see what you were all about. Let me tell you, you have not disappointed! Your site is a priceless resource that we are extremely thankful for. We find a significant increase in resident participation and look forward to the new ideas that each month brings. Our residents love the changes!
