Gesture & etiquette
Stand at a comfortable distance, bow at 15 degrees with a warm smile. Do not rush the farewell — allow the senior a moment to respond. If they seem reluctant for you to leave, acknowledge it gently: 'ゆっくりお休みください' (Please rest well).
Explicitly promising 'I'll come again tomorrow' is important for seniors who experience anxiety around staff transitions. Predictable goodbyes with a clear return time reduce distress and build trust. Always complete any pending tasks before delivering the farewell phrase.
