Gesture & etiquette
Have a notepad ready to record preferences — this signals you will actually use the information. Follow up with: 「アレルギーはございますか？」(Are there any allergies?) to complete the picture.
Family input on food preferences personalizes care and increases the resident's comfort. Framing it as information-gathering rather than a burden — 「教えていただけますでしょうか？」(could you please share with us?) — makes families feel like valued partners in care rather than people being interrogated.
