Case 2: The Case of Dennis Kyle Dennis Kyle has been a resident of Lotus Compassionate Care for over a year. Dennis has arthritis, which makes it difficult for him to move around. He is 72 years old. Before his stay at Lotus Compassionate Care, Dennis was being cared for by his wife Sheryl. Sheryl passed away two years ago. Their only son, John, was involved in a car accident years ago and is confined to a wheelchair. John is being cared for by his children in Ireland, where Dennis originally came from before moving to Melbourne 40 years ago to marry Sheryl. Because of these conditions, Dennis was placed in Lotus Compassionate Care. Scenario 1: To make him feel as comfortable as possible, John put Dennis in a private suite at Lotus Compassionate Care. He is given everything he needs, and he has so far been happy at the home. Tanya 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, Tanya tidies up his room. One morning, as Tanya was helping Kyle 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 on you, another care provider who happened to pass by Dennis' room, to assist her.
