"The Garden Wing at ParkHaven Hospital is a 24 bed unit of severely demented patients with behaviours ranging from continuous screaming to patients who are violent both physically and verbally. You have a special way with people which shows not only in the way you respond to our very challenging environment, but seeming to know when a situation is likely to become dangerous."
