Study: one in five newly admitted nursing home patients to suffer fall within one month.

 HealthDay (6/26) reports, "A new study finds that one in five newly admitted nursing home patients has a fall within one month, and that higher levels of staffing with certified nursing assistants reduces the risk of patient falls." The researchers said, "Identifying and managing fall risks among these residents is a challenge because these people are in a new place and are unfamiliar to staff."
