今週のスケジュールをお伝えしてもよろしいですか？ — Would it be alright if I explained this week's schedule to you? (Care · Family · Communication, Formal to Family, JLPT N4)

Gesture & etiquette

Have the schedule written out legibly before speaking; walk through it sequentially and pause after each item to check comprehension; note any family questions in writing to confirm you'll follow up.

Asking permission before delivering information shows respect for the family's time and attention. Lead with highlights: any appointments, changes, or celebrations. Families who are kept well-informed feel more confident and cooperative as care partners — transparency builds long-term trust.
