Transfers are a common source of falls—even when supporting aids are in use. Which begs the question, are the right aids being used with the right residents, and in the right way? Join us for August’s National Fall Huddle, when special guest Kari Harbaugh, Senior Product Consultant at Direct Supply, helps lead the discussion of all things transfer aids, including which aid to use when, the different considerations for different types of aids, and the best practices for each. We’ll also discuss communication strategies for encouraging residents living with Alzheimer’s and dementia to participate more easily in transfers, reducing fall risk and increasing safety. And we’ll demonstrate how technology can help develop desired behavior more quickly—which is critical for memory care residents who have difficulty identifying safety hazards and learning to use new aids.

Making the right choices for furniture, lighting, and layout in a resident’s room can significantly decrease fall risk. So, the fall experts at SafelyYou have partnered with product experts at Direct Supply to help you understand what a room needs to increase safety and help prevent falls. In our April webinar we’ll explore the best layouts to optimize for mobility, accessibility, and transfers. And we’ll examine different types of furniture and lighting and what to consider with each. Register now to be part of this critical conversation.

78% of falls happen between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. And the most common location prior to falls is the bed. But care providers have limited time to offer effective training programs to help prevent these falls—they need fall prevention strategies that both provide results and that staff can learn quickly. That’s why SafelyYou has developed the Top 5 Fall Prevention Tactics You Can Train in 15 Minutes, so care providers can educate staff in minimal time and help reduce the risk of unwitnessed falls by the bedside. Learn all about it in our March National Fall Huddle.
