Elder-care positioning should be assessed at the level of a specific assistance task and supervision plan. A humanoid appearance or social interaction demo does not establish dependable care delivery.
Describe the intended interaction or service without assuming clinical capability. Distinguish information, transport and social engagement from physical assistance. Define what the person and supervising staff must do when the system cannot complete a task.

Inspect supervision and consent
Ask whether remote operators or on-site staff are involved. Identify what data is captured and who can access it. Evaluate the information and consent process with the responsible care organization before a trial.

Test realistic exceptions
Consider missed instructions, obstructed paths and a user who does not respond as expected. Agree safe stop and escalation behavior with the provider. Demonstration footage should not replace an observed trial of the intended workflow.
