Foot Care Services for Seniors
Foot care is not a luxury. The prevention of foot problems cannot be over emphasized, especially for seniors. Foot problems are very common in people with arthritis, circulatory problems or diabetes.
Diabetes can lead to serious complications. Diabetes affects the circulation and immune system, which in turn impairs the body’s ability to heal itself. As a result, people with diabetes are less likely to feel a foot injury, such as a blister or cut. Unnoticed and untreated, even small foot injuries can potentially lead to serious complications.
We are able to provide care and advice for clients who have particular problems looking after their feet. Regular foot care will improve comfort and the general health of your feet. Our foot care services are provided to the residents in the home every 8 weeks.
