    Shayne has been staying at the Abi Rehab centre in West Auckland for the last five weeks.

    Despite the difficult times they have endured, Shayne made his first visit outside the centre last week with his partner, Daphne and his sister.

    Daphne and their daughter, Hannahleah are planning to bring Shayne home for the night on Christmas Day.

    Shayne and Daphne would like to thank everyone for their support, kindness and donations.

      Hi all

      I'm just giving you an update on shaynes progress he has deteriorated and now in bupa south auckland rehabilitation unit for a minimum of 6 weeks. He may now have to be in full time care as a result of his injuries. This family is in financial difficulty due to this tragic accident and does need as much help as they can get, as ACC does not help with any financial assistance for Daphne and there daughter. Daphne has her own health issues and unable to work and support hannahleah and herself. Please if you can give a little donation this would be so much appreciated as daphne and her daughter. thanks all...

      Client details:

      Name: Shayne Wiringi

      DOB: 30/10/1962

      NHI: ASS9575

      ACC no: 10048569118

      Present: Charlaine (BUPA OT), Lindsey Farrelly (ABI OT), Rachel (BUPA Facility Manager), Shayne

      Wiringi, Daphne Stone (partner), Marie O’Brien (pastor and family friend), Michael Denton (BIA

      advocate)

      Apologies: Shaun Sinclair (Shayne’s brother)

      Discussion:

       Charlaine reported that Shayne is doing well and showing improvements at BUPA. MDT meeting

      (between Shayne’s rehabilitation therapy team and ACC case manager) earlier in the week had

      identified Shayne would benefit from a longer period of rehabilitation to establish routines, and

      that ACC had agreed to extend funding for an additional 6 months as per Shayne’s consent.

      Charlaine confirmed BSS had commenced already via May-Lee from FOP, and that his Living my

      Life Programme via RWL (ie. day programme) would continue while Shayne was at BUPA.

       Lindsey confirmed additional BUPA funding is a reflection of Shayne’s progress and ABI

      Rehabilitation input would decrease going forward. OT input would be provided by Charlaine,

      and PT guided exercise programme would be overseen by BUPA rehab coaches. Current TI

      programme would be closed and a referral for a 6 month TI (Social work only) programme would

      be recommended. SW input would follow a family centred approach, the goal being to clarify

      Shayne’s financial and social situation. Sessions would be provided to both Shayne and Daphne,

      separately and together. Lindsey suggested ACC would not be likely to fund a separate gym

      membership/programmme as Shayne was following exercise program already developed by the

      PT using the gym equipment available at the BUPA facility.

       Michael stated he was surprised ACC was willing to provide an additional six months residential

      funding for Shayne however agreed it was a good idea from Shayne’s perspective as long as he

      was able to do things for himself whilst there. Michael was concerned that Shayne’s function

      might deteriorate based on his experience of residential rehabilitation. Michael believes Shayne

      had an issue with initiation at home, therefore there needs to be a plan to improve this over the

      next 6 months. Michael would like to see Shayne’s overall fitness improve and believed ACC

      should fund a gym program to assist. Michael is concerned there is little support for Daphne

      (and Hannah Leah) and believes ACC should provide psychology support to them although did

      agreed to discuss this directly with Gillian (as recommended by Lindsey).

       Shayne presented to Michael his current abilities and the structured program at BUPA. Shayne

      confirmed that the program he is following works well for him, he acknowledged that change is

      slow but that he is beginning to feel the benefits already. Shayne confirmed his medication

      compliance has improved, and that he plans to keep Daphne in the loop. He would like to be

      more involved with Hannah Leah, which he knows will involve engaging in a civil manner with

      Family Meeting for S.Wiringi 09/10/2020

      Daphne going forward. Shayne stated he had been raised as a NZ European, and that two of his

      previous partners were also of NZ European descent.

       Marie stated the relationship between Shane and Daphne had been complex preinjury, and that

      the neighbourhood where they live was not conducive to a peaceful nor pleasant lifestyle given

      the criminal element of some of their neighbours. Marie would like for Shane’s cultural needs to

      be met as she feels he has lost touch with his Tikanga, and might benefit from following a Maori

      based model of care to address his family relationships.

       Daphne presented the Te whare tapa whā model of care and suggested this was missing in

      Shayne’s instance. Daphne agreed to work with the social worker going forward. She stated

      Shayne needs to address his issues regarding watching porn, lying, lack of initiation and/or

      motivation for her to consider Shayne being able to return to the family home. Daphne advised

      Hannah Leah had not been asking about Shayne since he had been at BUPA, and stated it would

      be up to Hannah Leah if she wanted to see Shayne in future. Daphne is concerned Hannah Leah

      has been acting out recently and has arranged for her to be supported within the school

      environment.

      Key points agreed upon from discussion:

       Everybody agreed that Shayne should stay at BUPA for another 6 months, and continue with his

      Living my Life Programme via RWL

       Shayne would be discharged from the current ABI TI programme and a SW TI programme would

      be recommended

       Daphne agreed to meet with the Social Worker
