Most people are unaware that in long-term care facilities, such as nursing homes, haircare is considered a recreational activity. This means they aren't covered by insurance, placing the burden of payment on the residents. As a result, many residents in nursing homes across the nation go extended periods without proper hair care. At Cuts and Clothes, we identify residents who have been neglected in this area and partner with local barbers and stylists. We compensate them to provide these much-needed services, ensuring that these residents receive regular haircuts and grooming.
Much like hair care, clothing is also often neglected in long-term care facilities. Many residents lack the resources to replace worn clothing, affecting their comfort and dignity. At Cuts and Clothes, we not only provide haircuts but also donate clean, well-fitting clothes, ensuring that residents feel cared for and confident.
Alfred H. Graham has 20 years of experience providing haircuts in long-term care facilities, often offering free services due to limited funding. He believes haircuts in these settings should be viewed as essential for both physical and mental health, rather than just a recreational activity. Without proper grooming, scalp issues can develop, and regular haircuts have a positive impact on residents' mental well-being. Despite his efforts to change the classification of haircuts from recreational to medical care through lobbying government agencies and consulting lawyers, he had no success. As a result, Mr. Graham founded Cuts and Clothes to partner with facilities, barbers, stylists, and concerned citizens, ensuring residents receive the care they deserve. His firsthand experience and passion continue to drive this mission.
