Safer Healthcare Now! in partnership with the Registered Nurses’ Association of Ontario hosted the National Collaborative on the Prevention of Falls in Long-Term Care. The initiative aims were to decrease the number of falls and reduce fall injuries in residents living in long-term care settings across Canada, by 40 per cent. Innovative ideas, the involvement and input of all employees and the education of family members have led to a significant decrease in the number of falls at the Kristus Darzs Latvian Home in Woodbridge, Ontario. In April 2008, before the Falls Collaborative began, the home reported 29 falls. Eight months into the project, the number of falls had been reduced to ten.
