Yes, just about. I haven't done that yet.
Gesture & etiquette
Arrive with a bright morning energy — slightly more animated than afternoon visits. If they haven't washed their face yet, offer naturally: 「一緒にやりましょうか？」(Shall we do it together?), making it a collaborative activity rather than a directive.
Morning routines anchor the day and support a sense of normalcy. Asking about morning activities in sequence (getting up → washing face → breakfast) helps seniors track their morning mentally. 「されましたか？」is a polite honorific form of 「しましたか？」— essential for maintaining respectful caregiving language.
