WHY FOOT CARE? Minimize 

 

Routine foot care helps to maintain mobility and quality of life for everyone. It is not a luxury; it is a necessity. Infrequent basic foot care can lead to problems such as decreased mobility, pain, ulcers/infection and for the diabetic person, additional complications. As we age there are natural changes which also occur with the feet. Routine foot care assist in addressing these changes.

WHAT TO EXPECT ON A HOME VISIT Minimize 

On a visit, a foot care nurse will assess you feet and ask if you have any special concerns regarding your feet and document this on a special form. The nurse will then clip and file and shape your toenails ending with a light foot massage.

They will address any foot care concerns you may have during the visit and provide appropriate ongoing education on foot care.

Prior to leaving they will book another foot care visit for you.
