I am an ADON of a 200 bed SNF (LTC). When I started my new position I was horrified to see that 90% of the patients were restrained unnecessarily because my DON wanted zero falls and convinced the families of the wisdom of this. I tried working with the PT- instituting wedge cushions and they worked great. Five weeks in- one patient fell (didn't get hurt) and my DON pulled the project. I need ideas on how to reduce restraints safetly. Thanks
