Findings
The Alleged Victim (AV) has a history of unexplained bruising. During a 3 month span of time, from May 2022 until September 2022, AV was reported to have unexplained bruising on at least 10 different occasions. The facility did place tubi grips on AV's arms in August to protect AV from him/herself grabbing their arms, however, AV took them off regularly. AV's care plan was not updated sufficiently or quickly enough to address these bruising incidents, leaving AV at a risk for serious harm. The facility's failure is a violation of resident rights, is considered neglect of care and constitutes abuse.
