23
24
25 SOME EXAMPLES OF EMPATHY 1. I m sorry your food is late. I will get your food and bring it right to you. 2. I m sorry your father is having a hard time getting used to his new home. Let s figure out how we can all work together to make the transition smoother. 3. I m sorry your mom passed away after she fell. We feel horrible for you and your family. We are going to learn how this happened. We will give you an update at 3:00 tomorrow afternoon. In the meantime, is there anything we can help you with right now? Do you need a minister or a counselor? Again, we are very sorry and you have our deepest sympathies.
26 SOME EXAMPLES OF APOLOGY 1. I m sorry I got delayed delivering your dinner. I didn t start my deliveries on time and I will make sure it won t happen again. 2. I m sorry your father fell and is in the hospital. After we looked into the situation, we learned that he was getting out of bed to go to the bathroom when he fell. He said he needed to use bathroom but couldn t reach his call bell. That is not our standard of care and we are retraining all of our staff to make sure that the call bell is always in reach of our residents. I m sorry that this happened. We accept responsibility for his fall. Is there anything we can help you with now?
27 Saying SORRY is always okay!
