Falls prevention policy and procedures are required in acute care or long term care facilities, but I'm looking for guidance on what other types of services, including in-home services, might be required to do re: preventing or responding to a client's fall.

The person's doc can do an easy test to check for risks of falls in his ir her office-just by having them walk and sit down and stand up from a chair-to begin with-how they walk alone will give a good idea what will be happening.

thank you for taking time to answer! . I didn't explain myself well enough; I'm looking for examples of professional or state standards or regulations that specifically require a falls risk assessment or protocols for a response to an observed fall in settings such as adult day care, in home services.

A home care nurse can use her computer to grade level of risks for falls and can tell you the results.
