RE: FALL ASSESSMENTS

[Ann Schoeny]

Our social service director invites the resident, usually earlier in the week and also on the day of care conference. I usually also speak to the resident on the day of care conference as a reinforcement to come. We also have a sign in sheet, and everyone who attends, ie family, different disciplines sign in.
