Hello
Can I ask if anyone could please tell me their experiences and advise around hair care in a small Care Home.
Mum is in a privately run Care Home with 12 other residents she has Mixed Dementia ( Alz /Vas )
The staff provide personal care and Mum has her hair washed but no one seems to style
it afterwards.
There are no hairdressing facilities in the home.
I was told a hairdresser visits when Mum went into the home 6 months ago but nothing yet ...... and Mum is really needing a hair cut now and I feel would benefit from the pampering.
What has anyone else in a small Care Home found seems to happen ? Has a hairdresser come in and how do they make arrangements for washing hair with no basins?
Obviously i can chat with the Home and ask when they plan to organise a visiting hairdresser and also I could arrange one myself to visit but I just wanted to find out how others have dealt with this please?
Thanks
