by I Advance Senior Care Faces of LeadingAge: Tammy Barra
The person who knows residents best may be the hair stylist, especially if it's someone as inspiring as Tammy Barra.
"For residents, the two most important appointments are their doctor appointment and their hair appointment. Just because they can't do grooming and styling for themselves anymore doesn't mean they don't want that dignity. If I can make them feel beautiful, I can help them remember they have value."
— Tammy Barra, Georgia district manager, Salon PS
