Reducing Physical Restraints in Delaware’s Nursing Homes While many caregivers think physical restraints can help protect residents with limited mobility, restraints can in fact cause more harm than good. Quality Insights will partner with a select group of Delaware nursing homes to eliminate physical restraints and to learn better ways protect residents from injury due to falls.
Quality Insights will provide technical and educational assistance to those nursing homes that agree to work on reducing physical restraints. Free restraint reduction tools will be available to all nursing homes in Delaware. For more information on the restraint reduction project, please contact us.
Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes
On October 22, 2009, the second phase of the Advancing Excellence in America's Nursing Homes campaign was kicked off with the launch of a new Web site and the announcement of an all new set of goals. Even if you were a part of the first phase of the campaign, you will need to re-enroll to be a continuing part of this project. Quality Insights encourages all Delaware nursing homes to visit the Web site and re-join the Advancing Excellence project.
