Is that so? That's a bit concerning.
Gesture & etiquette
Speak in a quiet, private setting away from the resident; maintain a calm, factual tone; avoid alarming expressions — no furrowed brow; close with an offer to discuss further.
When reporting behavioral changes to family, use observational language ('〜ようです' = seems to) rather than diagnoses; this keeps communication factual and professional while inviting the family's input and shared concern.
