Gesture & etiquette
(Phone) Smile as you speak — warmth carries through the voice. If the family visits immediately after, greet them with the same positive tone before leading them to the senior.
Regular positive updates to families — even short ones — build deep, lasting trust. 'Douzo goshinpai kudasai' (please be reassured) is a formal phrase that directly addresses the family's core anxiety. Even a 30-second phone call with this update is valued far more than none.
