A suite of multimedia training resources have been released to support physicians and other health professionals to educate seniors in ways to prevent falls and stay healthy.

"Safety is one of the most important issues when caring for a person with dementia. As the disease progresses, the risk of falls can increase and the caregiver must adapt to ongoing changes in the abilities of the person with dementia. Education and information is critical to supporting families on the dementia journey. We are pleased that the government is taking steps to help promote safety among our seniors, as well as to further educate health professionals in supporting their patients."
