Specialists in the technology behind it all
The same AI and technology behind the world's best products powers CareStream, so your team's falls prevention training stays accurate, always up to date with the latest guidance, and is delivered in over 60 languages.
Understanding Fall Risk Assessment
Every resident has a full fall risk assessment when they arrive at our home. This assessment is recorded in their care plan and you must read it to understand their needs. We assess their fall history, medical conditions like osteoporosis or blood pressure problems, mobility level and need for aids, psychological factors like fear of falling, and any environmental hazards. This assessment helps us create a personalised plan to keep each person safe.
When must you read a resident's fall risk assessment and care plan?
The correct answer is “Before providing any care to that resident”. In the full module, a wrong answer triggers a short follow-up lesson and a fresh question, so the gap is always closed before completion.
That is how the training works. Give your whole team the full Falls Prevention module.

What Your Team Will Learn
A closer look at the falls prevention module.
The module is built in short, practical sections. Each one teaches a part of the topic, then applies it to a real care scenario and checks understanding before moving on.
Understanding Fall Risk Assessment
Every resident has a full fall risk assessment when they arrive at the care setting. This assessment is recorded in their care plan and you must read it to understand their needs. We assess their fall history, medical conditions like osteoporosis or blood pressure problems, mobility level and need for aids, psychological factors like fear of falling, and any environmental hazards. This assessment helps us create a personalised plan to keep each person safe.
Medical and Health Factors in Fall Risk
Our fall risk assessment includes reviewing medical conditions that increase fall risk. Conditions like osteoporosis make bones fragile, blood pressure problems can cause dizziness, and sensory issues affect balance. All residents have regular medication reviews and health checks. If we identify problems with eyesight, hearing, or balance, we refer the person urgently to the appropriate specialist or their GP. Managing these health factors is essential to preventing falls.
Mobility Assessment and Support
We conduct a full assessment of each person's mobility, including getting in and out of bed, bath, and chairs. We check if they need mobility aids and if they can use them properly. The assessment also reviews their footwear and ability to dress themselves. People with mobility problems must have up to date aids and know how to use them correctly. Some residents need staff to accompany them when moving around to prevent falls.
Individual Care Plans for Fall Prevention
Each resident has an individualised care plan based on their fall risk assessment. This plan includes specific interventions to reduce or eliminate their particular risks. Examples include ensuring people do not stand up from chairs too quickly, providing help getting out of the bath where needed, and making sure those with mobility problems have the right aids. The care plan is personal to each resident and you must follow it exactly.
Environmental Hazards and Safety
Our fall risk assessment includes checking the environment for hazards. We may use an occupational therapist to identify risks and recommend how to address them. Common hazards include wet bathroom floors, poor lighting, clutter, loose rugs, and obstacles in walkways. We must keep areas clear and well lit. Bathroom slips are very common because water adds to the hazards faced by frail people. Everyone must be alert to environmental risks and report or fix them immediately.
Psychological Factors and Resident Confidence
Our assessment includes psychological factors such as fear of falling. Some residents become anxious about moving around after a fall, which can limit their activities and independence. We discuss with the person and their family about their experiences of falling and how they have coped. Supporting someone's confidence while keeping them safe requires sensitivity. We balance protection from unnecessary risks with promoting independence and choice. Rehabilitation factors are also considered, such as recovery from a falls injury or stroke.

Instant lesson and feedback
A wrong answer immediately opens a short lesson explaining the point, so the gap is closed there and then.
Targeted follow up question
A fresh question on the same point checks the lesson has landed. The loop repeats until it has.
