Fall Prevention Programs Across the Multidisciplinary Team
Hosted by LeadingAge Iowa
Falls in long-term care settings are both a persistent problem and a significant expense. Understanding the intrinsic and extrinsic causes of falls and effective prevention methods is crucial for senior living professionals. This session will provide participants with an in-depth overview of falls in senior living environments, exploring the various and diverse risk factors and situations that contribute to them—many of which are preventable.
Attendees will learn how age, disease, and environmental hazards influence fall risks and discover that the likelihood of falls increases significantly with the number of risk factors present. The presentation will equip learners with strategies for multidisciplinary teams to collaboratively assess, select, and implement fall prevention programs tailored to their communities. Additionally, the session will cover principles of effective documentation for nursing, supporting the delivery of fall prevention services, and methods to evaluate the success of these programs.
Who Should Attend
Administrators, Nurse Leaders, Social Workers, and other personnel involved in your organization's fall prevention initiative. Appropriate for assisted living and nursing home providers.

Suicide Prevention and Screening for Substance Misuse in the Elderly
Hosted by LeadingAge Iowa
Suicide, ideation, and self-harm among older adults are highly prevalent yet minimally researched and uncomfortably discussed topics in the United States. Older adults often exhibit many primary risk factors, including mental illness (especially depression and grief/loss), medical illness, impaired coping skills, social disconnectedness, and functional impairment. Additionally, substance use disorders are a significant issue within this population. As the number of elderly individuals grows, we can expect an increase in substance-related problems and depression leading to suicidal thoughts or attempts. Life transitions, such as changes in housing for oneself or a spouse, exacerbate these risks, making the transition to assisted living or long-term care a crucial time for screening and intervention.
It is important for clinicians to be knowledgeable about the clinical presentation, screening methods, and risk assessment as the goal is for timely interventions and referral to appropriate care so life can be preserved. This webinar will discuss the prevalence of suicidality in senior living, the signs and behaviors indicating elevated risk for suicide and substance abuse, screening tools, and intervention strategies during this pivotal time.
- Define the scope of the problem related to suicide and substance abuse in seniors.
- Identify risk factors, warning signs, and common substance use disorders.
- Discuss the process of screening, brief interventions, and referral to treatment for elders with substance
- use disorders and suicidal ideation.
- Describe important actions in suicide prevention during the transition to residential communities.
Who Should Attend
Administrators, Nurses, Department Heads, Social Workers, Activity Professionals, Direct Care Professionals and other team members. Appropriate for all provider types including nursing home, assisted living, adult day services, and independent living.
What’s Included
Registration fee includes digital handouts and one connection to the live webinar. Certificate of attendance available upon request.

LTC Life Safety Code and Emergency Preparedness Regulatory Review
Hosted by LeadingAge Iowa
Life Safety Code (LSC) surveys are included in the figuring of the overall health inspection scores in a nursing home’s 5-star quality rating, which means compliance is crucial to maintaining higher 5-star ratings. In addition, providers that have not passed a LSC revisit had enforcement action (including denial of payment for new admissions) against their nursing home. The LTC Life Safety Code and Emergency Preparedness Regulatory Review will provide educational content aimed at assisting nursing home environmental and maintenance managers as well as administrators in understanding compliance requirements. During this virtual education, attendees will gain knowledge of LSC and Emergency Preparedness regulations and will receive tools to aid in quality assurance and compliance to reduce LSC and Emergency Preparedness deficiencies.
Who Should Attend
Administrators, Environmental Services Managers, and others involved with Life Safety Code and Emergency Preparedness. This training is appropriate for SNF/NF only.
What’s Included
Registration fee includes digital handout and one connection to the live webinar. A recording of this webinar is NOT included in the registration fee. Certificate of attendance available upon request.
