There are many reasons why seniors may need a foot care nurse. As we age, issues such as declining vision, lack of dexterity and reduced flexibility can limit our ability to care for our own feet. Aging factors, such as thinning skin, medication use, and disease processes place seniors at an increased risk for foot infections. Healthy feet become even more important as we age, and elderly foot care needs to be delivered by a professional who understands this special population.
When I meet with patients, I do a nursing assessment of their current foot health. I inspect for discoloration, swelling, redness, warmth, wounds, corns, callouses, and other changes in the Patient's foot and nails. I will discuss specific concerns of the patient - nail trimming/filing, callus treatment and any foot care goals the patient may have. Services Include: nail clipping, nail debridement, nail filing, and removal of minor corns and callouses.
Nail Care Nurse provides services conveniently for these conditions with a gentle approach using only sterile tools, maintaining our Patient's comfort and preserving their peace of mind.
