Your rehabilitation department could plan and give a mandatory in-service to all staff on how to prevent falls. All staff should be educated on fall prevention, so that they know how to spot and respond to residents who are at risk. Not all nursing home residents need to be supervised while they are walking. In addition, not all residents are capable of knowing their own limitations while walking.
