Gesture & etiquette
Make warm, direct eye contact; bow sincerely before turning to leave; ensure they are comfortable and settled (seated, call bell within reach) before departing — never rush out mid-conversation as this feels dismissive.
Saying 'お疲れ様でした' to a senior acknowledges the genuine effort required to get through each day — this is profound respect. 'また明日来ます' creates a reliable sense of continuity and security; for seniors with anxiety around changing caregivers, this consistency phrase is deeply reassuring.
