Registered Nurses that are Certified Foot Care Specialists play an important role in ensuring the well-being of the elderly in ALF and LTC facilities. Their expertise and training allow them to provide safe and effective routine foot care services, which can prevent a range of foot-related issues. It is essential to prioritize the use of qualified specialists in these settings to ensure the best possible care for our elderly population.
Toenail Trimming*
​
Toenail trimming/ clipping and sanding/ filing. This can reduce the length and thickness of the nails.
Nail integrity, shape, thickness and growth patterns vary and tend to change as we age.
Routine foot care visits involving trimming, thinning and filing of toenails are designed to improve a patient’s mobility, decrease fall risk, provide overall foot comfort and promote better shoe fit.
Regular maintenance of your nails may allow you to lead a more active lifestyle while improving your overall health and wellness.

Corns/Calluses/Dry Heels*
​
Atraumatically reduce the thickness of corns and calluses
​
The integrity of skin and other parts of our feet may be compromised as we age, leading to issues that can affect overall health and mobility.
Thinning fat pads on the bottom of our feet can lead to calluses, as the body tries to compensate for the reduction in padding. This can impair our overall walking and balance.
Changes within the aging foot, often caused by bone structures and loss of skin elasticity can lead to corns, calluses or cracked heels.

Did you know that many instances Medicare does not cover routine foot care? While it may seem like a cost-saver to skip out on a foot care nurse, routine foot care can actually prevent issues, problems, and even falls. Plus, it can contribute to overall health.
In many cases, podiatrists do not perform home visits or visits to your facility, and their private pay fees for routine foot care average $100 or more in their office, in the State of NH.
