Gesture & etiquette
Crouch down to their level immediately — never stand over them after a fall. Gentle hand on their shoulder or arm to signal 'stay'. Calm, slower-than-normal speech to lower their adrenaline. Make eye contact and smile slightly to reassure they are safe, not in trouble.
After a fall, the senior may try to get up immediately out of embarrassment, risking further injury. Your job is to calm them and prevent movement until you can assess. Use a steady, gentle tone — urgency without panic. 'Sono mama de daijoubu' (it's okay as you are) reassures them that staying still is the right action, removing the social pressure to recover face by standing.
