Gesture & etiquette
Deliver positive news with a warm, genuine smile. Maintain steady eye contact — it conveys that the good news is real and verified, not just a courtesy remark.
Sharing positive developments with a senior's family is as important as reporting problems. Beginning with the resident's name and using specific, observable signs (appetite, smiling) makes the good news credible and deeply reassuring to worried family members.
