Gesture & etiquette
Approach slowly without sudden movements; make eye contact at their level in a low, gentle voice; lightly offer your arm nearby (without grabbing); walk alongside them at their own pace.
When approaching a disoriented senior at night, always state the time clearly and calmly — this grounds them in reality without alarm; offering to 'guide together' rather than 'take back' preserves their dignity and sense of agency.
