Physical Restraint Reduction Training Sessions

As a physical restraint reduction training site, staff have faced common challenges and were able to successfully eliminate physical restraints.  Educational sessions assist nursing facilities within the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania to develop strong physical restraint reduction processess.   These sessions focus on core philosophy with an emphasis on individualized assessment and safe alternatives to physical restraint use.

PLEASE NOTE:

The Pennsylvania Restraint Reduction Initiative's training sessions are free to Pennsylvania providers only.   However, Untie the Elderly offers programs to those outside of Pennsylvania for a nominal cost.   For a list of programs and fees, please contact them at 610-388-5580.
