Project Description:

Last year, a group of students worked on a fall reduction project in Garry J. Armstrong Long Term Care Home (GJA) by implementing several strategies. These strategies were not sustained, prompting a reevaluation to address underlying issues. This project built on their work, focusing on two key strategies: the “Falling Leaf” initiative and the “Call, Don’t Fall” poster. After identifying gaps, we educated the staff to support long-term implementation and reduce falls at GJA.
