If the resident is identified to be at risk for falls, a care plan should be initiated that includes a plan to potentially diminish the risk for falls. The care plan can include interventions that address environmental factors, ADL factors, risk factors that result from dementia and other mental diagnosis, medical diagnosis that put the resident at higher risk. Issues such as toileting, eating, transferring and impulsiveness should be considered. The care plan can address furniture arrangements, footwear, medications that can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and instability. The care plan should also address how the resident can be transferred in and out of bed as well as how the resident can ambulate and move around the facility. The care plan should be reviewed and updated as needed with each change of condition. Post fall intervention: Attempt to identify why the resident fell and put an immediate intervention in place. And The team should have a way to inform all care givers of any new interventions placed in the care plan.
