Podcast: Fall Risk and Dementia - Solutions for Rehabilitation Therapists

Course overview

Your patient has dementia and your plan of care will address functional mobility and fall risk. The person does not have the ability to follow fall risk management strategies, and you know that limiting mobility will only make the problem worse! If you are a rehabilitation therapist practicing in a post-acute care setting, you have been faced with this challenge many times, and it may be a frustrating and discouraging situation. However, there are things that can be done that can effectively mitigate risk. This podcast with expert clinician Cathy Ciolek discusses best practices and recommendations for how rehab therapists can effectively manage fall risk for patients with dementia in the home or assisted living settings.
