Video: Falls Prevention
A fall can have a significant impact on a person’s independence and lifestyle. Among older adults in Alberta, falls are the leading cause of injury and 1 of 3 older adults will fall at least once per year.
This video, presented by Melanie Morgan-Redshaw from the Injury Prevention Centre, outlines risk factors that can lead to a fall including issues with balance and leg strength, vision, medication, cognitive issues, and home safety. Falls prevention resources that are available on the Finding Balance website are also discussed.
In this video, learn how to:
- Recognize risk factors that can lead to a fall
- Identify interventions that may help prevent falls
- Access and share falls prevention resources

Information is so relevant and applicable to my position as a LTC nurse.
The content of the video is very important especially for LPNs who are usually involved in the process of fall prevention and keeping our elders fall-free.
Very informative .
Short and resourceful video, Working in assisted living facility I come across fall incidents almost everyday. After watching this video I am thinking most falls can be preventable.
Thank you,this covered all areas that one never considers when thinking of falls. Very engaging.
