Paramedics from NSW Ambulance were called to Eureka Orange in Albert Street just after 8am on June 21.
A spokesman for NSW Ambulance said one crew was dispatched to the scene.
"There was a patient who was in the loungeroom when someone went through the bedroom wall," the spokesman said.
"The patient in question was a male in his 70s and was assessed at the scene but no transport to Orange Hospital was required."
The spokesman confirmed that the person treated at the scene was a resident of the retirement village.
The driver of the truck sustained no injuries according to the NSW Ambulance spokesman.
A spokeswoman for Central West Police said a truck from a nearby construction site went over a bump and "jolted into the nursing home". She added that the driver was breath tested and returned a negative result.
