The in-house hairdresser at my mum's nursing home has practically shaved her head. It's down to the skin on the sides with a couple of inches of hair on the top of her head. I'm so sad for her. She didn't want my daughter take a photo of her for me, today. 😢 Why would they do this to an old lady?

The facility she is in must by law have a complaint process or feedback form so you can formally investigate. Ask to see the hairdresser's qualification. They must be qualified to deliver such a service into aged care. If not, they have broken the NACQSI and will probably face no consequences at all

My Dad had a full Santa beard. We asked to have it trimmed slightly. They shaved it off complete. We were livid. Made sure there was a very big note to never do that again!

This is horribly cruel, somebody must be held accountable for this.

That wasn’t a hairdresser. That was a staff member with clippers. I’m so sorry this happened to your mum 😤

For ease of care I’m guessing, with no thought for the dignity and agency of the poor woman who has to live with it.
