Fall Prevention in Long-Term Care
Reduce fall risk and protect residents through safer routines, better awareness, and timely response.

Overview
Falls are one of the most common—and preventable—injuries in long-term care. This course helps staff recognize fall risks, take proactive steps to reduce them, and respond properly when a fall occurs. Through real-world LTC scenarios, learners build awareness around common triggers, mobility challenges, and prevention strategies that support a safer environment for every resident.
- Built for LTC risks: Focuses on real-life resident routines, not generic hazards.
