Gesture & etiquette
A gentle knock before entering, followed by a warm smile as you arrive. Crouching or sitting to their level during the conversation makes it feel like a social visit rather than a duty check.
Afternoon check-ins are an important care rhythm. Asking about rest — not tasks or schedules — signals genuine interest in their wellbeing rather than just their care routine. If they mention discomfort, stay and listen before moving on.
