- Educate patients and caregivers on fall prevention, safe movement strategies, and the use of assistive devices.
Ongoing Progress Monitoring:

- Collaborate with physicians and the interdisciplinary care team to support patient goals.
Documentation & Compliance:
- Complete timely documentation using the agency's electronic medical record (EMR) system.
