"My dad is on nine medications. Three of them make him unsteady."

Sedatives, sleep aids, antipsychotics, and blood pressure medications all raise fall risk, and the risk climbs as the list gets longer. Every nursing home is required to have a pharmacist review each resident's medications regularly, which means a review already exists somewhere in the building. Making sure the risks from those medications is known can help prevent falls.

Three things worth asking:
• Ask for the full current medication list, including anything added during a recent hospital stay.
• Ask what the most recent pharmacist review found and whether anything was flagged as a fall risk.
• If there are medications with known side effects that may impact stability, ask whether their fall risk was updated based on the information; a flag that nobody follows up on is just a note in a file.

If you'd like our Family Safety Guidebook, comment below with whether you want the physical book or the digital copy, and we'll send it your way.

Falls Prevention Awareness Month is a good time to ask. So is any other week.

"Nobody answered my mom's call light. She tried to make it to the bathroom herself and fell."

This is how a lot of nursing home falls happen. Not from frailty, but from a person who needed help and waited longer than they could reasonably wait.

Having quick call light response times helps present falls and makes sure your loved one is getting the help they need. The response time is also one of the things you can measure yourself on your next visit:

• Press the call light while you're in the room and watch the clock; do it again on a different day and at a different hour. Document it and keep track so you have facts! One measurement isn't a pattern, but if it happens repeatedly at different times, it is.
• Ask what the facilities average call light response time is. If they don’t track it, dig deeper and find out why.
• Do the staff offer bathroom assistance on a set schedule or do they wait to be called for assistance? Residents who are checked on regularly are the ones who don't end up on the floor!

Our Family Safety Guidebook covers what to look for on a visit and what to do with what you find. Let us know in the comments if you'd like a copy, printed or digital, and we'll take care of it.

"If my dad fell tonight, how long would it take someone to notice?"

It's a question that tends to show up around two in the morning, when you're lying awake thinking about someone who is alone in a room far away and there's nothing useful you can do about it at that hour.

The answer depends on how often someone is scheduled to look in on him; overnight is when facilities run their thinnest staffing. There are three things worth asking during daylight hours:
• Ask how often staff are supposed to check on residents overnight, and whether that interval is different for someone who has already been identified as a fall risk.
• Ask where those checks get documented, and whether it's something you would be able to review if you asked.
• Ask how many aides are covering the hall at three in the morning compared to three in the afternoon. The gap between those two numbers is usually the answer to your question.

It's Falls Prevention Awareness Month, but the overnight hours don't observe it any differently than the rest of the year.

Today, we remember the lives lost on September 11, 2001, and honor the courage of the first responders, volunteers, recovery workers, and countless others who stepped forward to help.

For many, that service did not end when the immediate crisis was over. Years later, some continue to live with serious medical conditions tied to their work at Ground Zero and the surrounding areas, including respiratory illness, cancer, and neurological conditions such as dementia.

Twenty-five years later, we remember those we lost, those who answered the call, and those who continue to carry the effects of that day.

We remember. We honor. We do not forget.
