Complaint Investigation Report

Allegation: Resident sustained unexplained injuries while in care.

RP reported that RP witnessed small wounds when RP would visit R1 at the facility. RP stated that RP had no evidence of anyone hurting R1. RP stated that R1 told RP when care staff would help R1 out of bed R1 would sometimes bump R1s leg, RP also stated that R1 was forgetful and sometimes R1 would not know what happened and how R1 got the small wounds. RP stated that RP has visited R1 4 to 5 times and noticed the small wounds and wanted to report what RP saw.

W1 reported that W1 is not sure how the small wounds got on R1, W1 stated that R1 informed W1 that R1 leg was bumped when R1 was being helped out of bed by care staff.

R1 stated that R1 was not sure how the small wounds got on R1 leg. R1 stated that it just happens to R1 skin.

Although the allegation may have happened or is valid, there is not a preponderance of evidence to prove the alleged violation did occur, therefore the allegation that Resident sustained unexplained injuries while in care is unsubstantiated.
