10. Response and reassessment

Every intervention and teaching action requires a documented response that closes the loop. An intervention without a reassessment is an audit gap.

• The effect of a mitigation — for example a hazard corrected, a grab bar installed, or a medication system set up and used.
• Caregiver competence after safety training — a return demonstration where applicable.
• Teaching effectiveness: teach-back percentage for fall-prevention, medication safety, or emergency procedures.
• Whether the risk is reduced and what remains to be addressed.
• The plan for reassessment timing and what will be re-evaluated next visit.
