Gesture & etiquette
Approach gently at eye level. Soft voice. If protocol requires, check pulse and temperature while narrating each step. Watch their face throughout for fatigue or discomfort.
Bathing seniors requires a wellness check first — sudden blood pressure changes during bathing (ヒートショック) are a leading cause of fatal accidents among Japanese seniors. Always check pulse, temperature, and verbal wellbeing. Narrate each check ('体温、お測りしますね'). Skip the bath if anything seems off — never push through.
