Safety Assessment Scale

The Safety Assessment Scale is a tool used to evaluate an individual's risk of experiencing safety concerns, such as wandering, falls, or injuries, often in healthcare settings like nursing homes. It helps caregivers understand how vulnerable a person may be to safety issues, allowing them to develop appropriate strategies and precautions. The scale considers factors like cognitive ability, physical mobility, and behavioral tendencies to provide a comprehensive risk profile, ensuring that safety measures can be tailored to each person's needs and promote a secure environment.
