Transferring residents safely and avoiding injury and liability. The prevalence of resident injuries is much too great, as are the injuries to staff. Please join us to discuss safe resident handling, common causes and best practices. Then we will delve into how you can be comprehensive and more effective (not just compliant). This is the way to becoming your best for your residents and staff.
