This document summarizes a presentation on falls prevention. It discusses the impact of falls on the Canadian economy, noting that many health and home care services needed for prevention and healing are only partially covered or not covered by public health insurance. It also examines the psychosocial impact of falls on clients. Finally, it promotes using positive reinforcement strategies to enhance the client experience, such as making clients feel appreciated through kind words and actions. An overall positive client experience can be measured through positive feedback, fewer client concerns, positive staff feedback, and generating a positive environment for all.
