Proposed Project 

‘‘Improving Quality of Care in Long 

Term Care’’ 

The proposed project will design, 

implement, and evaluate an 

intervention program to prevent 

injurious falls in assisted living 

facilities. The project involves four 

major activities: (1) Adapting a 

multifaceted, evidence-based falls 

prevention program to a protocol 

tailored to the assisted living 

environment; (2) implementing the pilot 

protocol and collecting clinical and 

process data pre- and post-intervention; 

(3) evaluating the results of the 

intervention; and (4) widely 

disseminating the protocol (revised as 

needed based on the evaluation), 

training materials, and research 

findings. 

The project design is a multicomponent falls intervention program 

that will include medication review, 

resident assessment, environmental 

modification, and exercise. Its goal will 

be to reduce risk factors for falls, as well 

as fall and fracture rates, among
