From aging and medical conditions to environmental hazards, multiple factors put residents at risk. With 50% of nursing home residents experiencing a fall each year, addressing these risks is crucial for safety and quality of life. Many of these falls are preventable with proper care. By conducting thorough risk assessments, creating personalized care plans, and implementing safety measures, nursing homes can significantly reduce the likelihood of falls and improve resident well-being. #eldercare #elderabuse #elderlycare #ProtectSeniors #nursinghomeabuse #nursinghomeabuselaw #nursinghome

With Nurse Disrupted’s Care Stations, it really is as easy as 1-2-3! Leele Noa from Mary's Place explains just how simple it is: 1️⃣ Swipe up to start. 2️⃣ Tap to join the visit. 3️⃣ Within seconds, a nurse is there to help. But beyond simplicity, ease-of-use is absolutely critical—especially in shelters, where access to care can be a game-changer. Leele shared two powerful examples of the Care Station's everyday use: ➡️ A worried mother, whose child was vomiting, connected instantly with a nurse who advised her to treat with Pedialyte, saving an unnecessary ER trip. ➡️ A woman with a serious leg wound was quickly assessed and told to seek immediate care, preventing what could have been a dangerous infection. Without the Care Station, both situations could have resulted in delayed care or costly interventions. These smaller, everyday occurrences add up to a massive impact for shelters like Mary's Place and the state of Washington as a whole.

6moFalls and repetitive falls are the main cause of injury. Due to lack of early interventions on admission, lack of collaboration between the Nursing and therapy department is the biggest cause of these falls and miscommunication. Lack of CNA and Nurse communication about changes in condition is also a big factor. Falls need a very robust program and if that lacks then falls are a major problem in Nursing Homes.
