Safety-Care® for Healthcare
Part of your organization’s patient-safety and workforce-safety program, Safety-Care equips clinical teams to prevent and manage behavioral crises while preserving dignity and supporting regulatory expectations. This approach supports consistent response across teams, shifts, and settings—reducing escalation, injury risk, and variability in high-pressure clinical environments.
Designed to support CMS patient-rights standards and Joint Commission (JCAHO) expectations for de-escalation, restraint reduction, and staff training.
Behavioral escalation in healthcare is not limited to dedicated psychiatric units. Safety-Care® supports teams responding to behavioral risk related to medical conditions, dementia, substance use, and acute stress—where escalation can occur in emergency departments, inpatient units, outpatient programs, and other clinical settings.
Safety-Care equips frontline staff and clinical leaders with prevention-first strategies and least-restrictive safety practices that support consistent response across teams, shifts, and settings, even when behavioral challenges arise outside traditional behavioral health environments.
These reductions are driven by consistent response across teams, shifts, and settings—equipping staff with shared, prevention-first decision-making that reduces variability during behavioral crises and lowers the risk of injury and escalation.

Five Steps to behavorial change across your organization
Look at what's happening: behavior patterns, incident trends, staff experience, and key stakeholders.
Decide what you're working toward and how you'll measure it.
Train the right people at the right level for your population. Grounded in behavioral science. Focused on prevention.
Put it into practice. Reinforce the skills and routines that sustain the program.
Measure what changed and connect results back to the goals you set in Step 2.
The use of Safety-Care strategies empowers our staff to shape and manage behavior safely, and promote success and independence for our consumers.

Our facility houses over 200 adults with intellectual and other disabilities. In 2008, we transitioned our entire staff to Safety-Care. Embracing it has been a key factor in improving safety and quality of care.

As a team of mostly non-ABA trained staff, it has been a helpful and structured tool to both explain behavior and de-escalation in a simple way.
