Think you need lap belts and alarms to prevent falls? Here's a friendlier approach that works much better.

When residents get up, they can fall down. If you know their motivation to get up, you're already well on your way to mitigating fall risk in your long-term care facility. Join expert speaker Diana Waugh for this 1-hour audio conference and learn factors you never knew motivated residents to move and better understand their drive to be in control. Plus, learn how to create a more person-centered approach to fall prevention and the social aspects of care every facility should address in today's era of culture change.

Here's what you will learn:

Key resident behaviors that contribute to falls -- and what you can do about them.
Staff expectations, communication issues, and environmental elements that spell fall risk.
Actions you can take now to improve your residents' quality of life.
The "11 Ws" and other assessment tools essential to fall prevention.
How to get your faculty and staff to buy in to a total team approach.

Have additional questions? You have the floor with the speaker during an interactive Q&A.

Who should attend? All long-term care staff, including, but not limited to directors and administrators, activities staff, social workers, and mental health consultants.

Your registration includes:

Flexible enrollment. Scheduling conflict? No problem. This session is also available on CD.
Expert answers to your tough questions during the interactive Q&A period.
Complimentary attendee package, including the speaker's complete presentation handouts. Keep this quick reference tool close by for future use.
One low price for all the staff you can stuff into a conference room.

Diana Waugh brings both formal education and years of practical nursing experience to her audience. She has served on faculties in all types of nursing programs; managed a regional rehabilitation program; worked as a long term care consultant for over 15 years; and even learned how to write and produce television commercials. In each endeavor, teamwork has been the key to her success. Her belief in teamwork influences her approach to every topic she addresses. The second driving force in Diana’s practice is the PERSON. Regardless of the topic she is addressing, her focus is the PERSON. As health care providers, it is not always possible to “make everything better” but care givers do hold the power to “make everything human.” In the enthusiasm for technological advances, the “little things” continue to make all the difference for both the residents and the staff members. Creating and fostering a social model of care is high on Diana’s list of “musts” regardless of the setting where elderly receive care and services. This sounds easy, but probably raises the most challenges for licensed health care workers who have grown up in a system that has been totally medical model. Diana believes that true cultural change will occur when both the staff and the residents in long term care settings are confident and comfortable knowing they are being treated as valuable individuals.
