Mobile foot care near you
Mobile foot care brings a trained foot care nurse or chiropodist to your home. It's a practical option for seniors, people living with diabetes, and anyone who finds it hard to reach their feet or travel to a clinic.
A typical visit covers nail trimming and filing, thickened or fungal nails, corns and calluses, and a check of skin and circulation. Foot care nurses (RNs or RPNs with advanced foot care training) work alongside chiropodists, who can also diagnose and treat foot conditions.
Who it's for
- Seniors who can't safely trim their own nails
- People living with diabetes or poor circulation
- Anyone with limited mobility or recovering from surgery
- Retirement and long-term care residents
