Personal care aides

An elderly client is mobile and mentally capable, but still receives daily visits from a personal care aide for companionship and assistance. During one of her visits, the aide broke an expensive antique lamp on the side table while tidying up. The client became very upset and attempted to recover damages for her irreplaceable property.
