Gesture & etiquette
Soft voice in dim light. Gentle smile, hands clasped lightly in front. Tuck blanket up to shoulders if they want. Check call button placement before leaving. Close door quietly with hand still on the handle.
Evening close-of-day caregiver phrase. 'お疲れさまでした' (you've worked hard today) acknowledges their effort even on quiet days — preserves dignity by treating their day as meaningful. 'ゆっくり' (slowly/calmly) softens the bedtime suggestion. Dim lights gradually, check call button is within reach, confirm water is bedside.
