Some caregivers often call the elders to enquire about their whereabouts for fear that they might get lost, which makes the elders feel impatient or creates additional pressure on them, and even misleads them to doubt their own abilities, thus reducing their self-confidence and possibly affecting the relationship between the elders and the caregivers. As a better approach, caregivers can establish a habit of chatting with the elders on a daily basis, either face-to-face or over the phone, to monitor their whereabouts and whether they have encountered any difficulties, which can achieve the same effect. The caregiver's expression of concern in the process can also enhance the relationship.
