Gesture & etiquette
Phone or in-person. Speak with warm, measured pace — this is a moment of family care, not a clinical briefing. Allow long pauses for family emotional response. If video call, soft smile and steady eye contact with camera.
Monthly family reports balance reassurance with honest observation. Lead with positive concrete facts (eating well, calm complexion) — gives family peace of mind without sounding generic. 'Goyousu' is the honorific 'condition/state.' If there are concerns to raise, do so after the positive observations, framed as 'something to watch' rather than 'a problem.' Always invite family questions at the end.
