Gesture & etiquette
Stand at their side or front — never approach from behind without announcing; lay out chosen clothes visibly first so they can confirm; speak each step aloud ('右手からどうぞ', right arm first) and pause for their cooperation rather than rushing.
Ending with 'ね' softens the announcement and frames this as teamwork, not a command. Always verbally narrate each step before touching the senior — this gives them time to prepare mentally and preserves their sense of control over their own body. Work from the stronger side first when assisting with limb movements.
