This methodology brings attention to layers of communication that reveal narratives as a mobile process that require work from both the teller and the listener to share and receive. Movements are shown to be the physical manifestations of embodied language which when viewed through a lens of mobility enable a deeper understanding of the experience of living with dementia when an inpatient. Viewing narratives through a mobilities lens is important to the advancement of dementia and citizenship practices.
