Help with aged care homes

Common question


Question:	My mum is in an aged care home and is getting a bit confused. The home has a hairdresser and nail care times each week, but mum's hair and nails need cutting. Shouldn't someone remind her to use these services?
Answer:	You need to talk about this with your mum and the care manager of the home. The home should assist your mum with her personal grooming if she cannot manage alone, or if she cannot remember to make and/or keep appointments.
