Staff Training • Michigan AFC • 7 CEUs
Practical, evidence-informed methods to reduce falls and injuries in Adult Foster Care. Master risk assessment, environmental safety, gait and balance support, medication review, post-fall response, and compliant documentation to keep residents safe and your home survey-ready.
Learn to use practical screening tools and observation to identify intrinsic and extrinsic risks: history of falls, orthostatic hypotension, vision/hearing, footwear, clutter, lighting, and bathroom hazards.
Conduct room-by-room safety checks, improve lighting and contrast, set up bathrooms for safer toileting and showers, and maintain floors, thresholds, and handrails to reduce tripping and slipping.
Support gait and balance with correct use of canes, walkers, and wheelchairs; apply transfer techniques, non-slip strategies, and cueing that match each resident’s plan of care.
Spot high-risk medications (e.g., sedatives, antihypertensives, antipsychotics), understand side effects, and coordinate with prescribers to mitigate fall risk safely.
Follow a calm, stepwise protocol: scene safety, rapid condition check, provider notification, observation timeline, documentation, root-cause analysis, and prevention plan updates.
Create defensible notes and incident reports that align with Michigan AFC expectations and payer requirements, including timelines, interventions, and follow-ups.
