title: Standing and moving.
abstract: I work as a ward manager on a 20-bed continuing care ward with some input into a respite care facility. My clinical area caters for older people who have neurological conditions, most commonly Alzheimer's disease, Lewy body disease and vascular dementia. I found this article to be of great benefit and I am certainly aware of the difficulties associated with maintaining the safe mobility of our patients. I intend to make greater use of my communication skills and especially non-verbal communication.
