32 | Based on a review of the forms and documents gathered during the course of this investigation, it was learned that the follow-up medical visit for the X-Ray was conducted and completed on 06/01/2026 by Welbe Health. The results concluded that there was no medical evidence to support that R1 had sustained any injuries related to a fracture at that time.
Based on interviews that were conducted during the course of this investigation, it was learned that the origin of the bruising sustained by R1 was unknown. It was learned that R1 was diagnosed with dementia, along with a language barrier present, made it more difficult for facility staff to gather a reliable account from R1.
It was learned that R1 initially stated that R1's son was the cause for the bruise. Afterwards, R1 changed R1's statement indicating that R1 had bumped into a wheelchair with their forearm and sustained the bruise in that manner. Later on that same day, it was learned that R1 recanted all of the previous statements and denied any knowledge of how the bruising came about.
It was learned that staff, upon the discovery of the bruising, did take the necessary procedures to seek first aid to reduce any discomfort and pain. In addition, the appropriate notifications were made to upper management and the responsible party for R1 as well.
It was learned that the Unusual Incident Report (UIR) was completed and submitted into CCL by the required time frame for this incident that took place involving R1.
As a result of this investigation, this Department found the allegation to be UNSUBSTANTIATED. A complaint allegation finding of Unsubstantiated meant that although the allegation may have happened or was valid, there was not a preponderance of the evidence to prove that the alleged violation occurred.
There were no deficiencies observed or cited at this time.
