Paragraph Styles Dennis Kyle has been a respite care client of Lotus Compassionate Care for over a year. Dennis is serviced in his private home. Dennis has an acquired physical disability due to a stroke he suffered a year ago. This makes it difficult for him to move around. Before his stay at Lotus Compassionate Care, Dennis was being cared for by his wife Sheryl. Sheryl died two years ago. Their only son, Charlie, and his wife, Mariz, are Dennis's primary carers. Charlie is a manager at an IT company and Mariz started working as an accountant for a large firm last year. Since both would be working on weekdays, the couple has opted to avail of respite care for Dennis during weekdays.
Part 1 To make him feel as comfortable as possible, Charlie had Dennis' room in their home renovated. He is given everything he needs, and he has so far been happy at home. Tonya Pereira, the carer who works with Dennis, helps him with his daily morning routine. She helps him up from bed and prepares his shower. While Dennis is in the shower, Tonya tidies up his room. One morning, as Tonya was helping Dennis get up from bed, carrying his legs towards the edge, she felt sharp pain in her lower back. She could not stand upright and had to call you, another support worker who also attends to Dennis on some days, to assist her. You arranged for another staff member to take Tonya to the general practitioner.
