Abstract
Seven Oaks at Notre Dame, an outreach of the Notre Dame sisters’ mission has provided safe and affordable senior living allowing residents to “age in place”. Creighton University’s Office of Interprofessional Scholarship, Service, and Education (OISSE) has had a long-standing relationship with Seven Oaks at Notre Dame. Administrators at Seven Oaks at Notre Dame expressed concern about the increasing number of resident falls and expressed interest to Creighton faculty members about implementing fall risk reduction strategies. In 2010, Edward Saito, a Doctor of Pharmacy candidate 2012, was recognized as a Paul Ambrose Scholar for his community-based health promotion proposal to implement an interprofessional fall prevention program for seniors.
