Fall Prevention and Cognitive Impairment Inventory

Posted October 9, 2018

By Parachute. The inventory of fall prevention resources and learning opportunities is designed to support those who are caring for a loved one living with dementia or cognitive impairment to understand the risks of falls and create plans to reduce the risks. It is our understanding that this document was of great need to fall prevention stakeholders and caregivers as few documents cover fall prevention for people living with cognitive impairment and their caregivers. It is a ‘living’ document that should continue to grow as additional resources and learning opportunities are located. The resources that are noted below have been organized by a topic framework and prefaced by description of what the evidence indicates in the references. Check out the document here:
