Austin (KXAN) – for more than seven years, Blue and housing home care Home care services were provided to patients in central Texas. Over the past three years, the company has also provided housing care for individuals and their families that are traveling in the final stages of life.
Malik Jennifer Brickut said the work is very personal. “It is a privilege and an honor to do this work and make a change in people’s lives all over the middle of Texas,” said Breskot.
In addition to its clinical sponsorship, Blue Water also runs a voluntary program designed to enhance the quality of patients’ life. Through this program, a new partnership was formed with Maria Poetry and Ring Studio In Round Rock to provide free haircuts for HOSPICE patients at the comfort of their homes.
“I started with Steve, our volunteer coordinator,” said Breskot. “Part of Hospice’s care focuses on a person’s mind, body and spirit, so our volunteer program is very important in achieving this.”
Volunteer coordinator Steve Wanzar said the idea came from the patient’s request. A social worker has arrived at Wanzer, and asks if he knew anyone who can present a haircut. As his fate will be, Wanzer was driving his car at Maria Hair Studio at that particular moment.
Wanzar said: “I stopped and asked me if they were interested.” “Maria told me that she was supposed – she was looking for a way to participate in society.”
Since then, the simple gesture has become a dear part of Care Blue Water.
“We all know how our hair feels when our hair is unfamiliar or gray – we don’t feel that we prefer ourselves,” said Breskot. “As a professional in the elderly, we understand how important it is to help people feel satisfied. This small act of kindness has a long way.”
The partnership also provided practical experience for students at the Hair and Barbershop Studio in Maria, allowing them to develop their skills while communicating with society.
“I was really afraid at first,” said Martin Olympic Martinez, a store student. “I have always had this fear of filling a person’s hair. But Maria and the coaches helped me realize that it is about making people feel satisfied – and gave them a good haircut.”
Wanzar said that the organization is always looking for more volunteers – not only to help with haircuts and also to visit patients, provide companionship, and provide support.
He said: “We may visit our volunteers weekly, twice a month, or even a month.” “Some bring treatments, others read magazines or look at the pictures. For many patients, one of the most prominent in their week becomes – something to look forward to.”
