A short walk, with two hands
When a resident wants to stand, someone is there to hold both hands and take the corridor slowly.

The walk is rarely long. It may be from the bed to the chair, or from the chair to the common room door. What matters is that the resident asked to move and was not told to wait until later.
Two hands are better than one arm hooked through. The resident can stop, look down at the floor, and start again. Staff do not hurry this. A fall is more expensive, in every sense, than an extra five minutes.
Some afternoons the same resident wants a second walk. If a volunteer is free, they go. If not, the walk waits, but the request is written down so it is not forgotten by evening.
