Helmets for those at high risk of head injury

This fall prevention strategy is to consider the use of helmets for residents who are at high risk of head injury. This may be appropriate for residents with a history of falls or those who have medical conditions that increase their risk of falling and head injury. The use of helmets can provide an additional layer of protection to prevent serious head injuries in the event of a fall.
