Hello, I am The director of recreation in a nursing home. Am I legally allowed to cut the hair of the residents using only clippers in Brooklyn, New York if I am not a licensed barber? I have searched the web all over and can't seem to find any answers. Does anyone have any information on this subject?
Hi Alexander I do not live in new York and I’d don’t know what their guidelines are This is what I would do Contact the City Hall in Brooklyn and ask them Look online to see if you can find out Call other facilities and see what they do Contact a local barber and see what he does Maybe you can get him to volunteer
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
