What is One Safety Practice You Never Skip During a Home Visit? Tell Us and You Could Win $100!

Earlier this month, we recognized Patient Safety Awareness Week. This is an annual recognition week that occurs each year at this time. It is a great opportunity to raise awareness about safe patient practices and all of the safety steps each of you take each day as you provide care to your clients.

So, for March’s “Question of the Month,” we want to know…

“What is one safety practice you never skip during a home visit?”
