Understood. We'll leave it in your hands.
Gesture & etiquette
If possible, introduce the incoming caregiver in person. Witnessing a warm, professional handover reassures families that continuity of care is taken seriously — the transition is not an ending but a continuation.
Care handovers (引き継ぎ) require transparent explanation to families — the relationship of trust built with one caregiver must be consciously transferred. Announcing the handover and explaining the care history prevents families from feeling their loved one has been abandoned.
