Frequently Asked Questions

  • Seniors may need professional foot care if they have thick toenails, ingrown nails, corns, calluses, cracked heels, foot pain, swelling, or fungal toenails. Difficulty trimming toenails safely or trouble reaching the feet are also common signs.

    Older adults with diabetes, arthritis, poor circulation, reduced mobility, or vision problems are at higher risk for foot complications and may benefit from regular foot care nursing services.

    Symptoms such as numbness, tingling, skin discoloration, or slow-healing wounds should be assessed by a healthcare professional.

  • Diabetic foot care is important because diabetes can reduce circulation and damage nerves in the feet, making it harder to notice cuts, sores, or infections. Without proper care, small foot problems can quickly become serious and lead to ulcers, infections, or complications that affect mobility.

    Regular diabetic foot care helps prevent common issues such as thick toenails, calluses, cracked skin, and pressure sores. Professional foot care nursing also helps monitor changes in skin condition, circulation, and sensation before complications worsen.

    People with diabetes should avoid cutting their own nails or treating foot problems at home, especially if they have reduced feeling in their feet.

    Professional diabetic foot care services in Ottawa provide safe nail trimming, foot assessments, callus care, and education to help maintain healthy feet and reduce the risk of diabetic foot complications. Regular appointments can help support long-term foot health and overall well-being.

  • During an in-home foot care visit, a licensed foot care nurse provides professional treatment in the comfort of your home. The appointment typically includes toenail trimming, reduction of thick nails, corn and callus care, and a full foot health assessment.

    The nurse will also check for signs of infection, poor circulation, skin changes, fungal nails, or diabetic foot concerns. Education on proper foot care, footwear, and prevention may be provided to help maintain healthy feet between visits.

    All required equipment is brought to your home, including sterile instruments and supplies. A leg prop is also used to position the feet comfortably and safely during treatment.

    Strict infection control procedures are followed, and all tools are properly sterilized to ensure safe care.

  • Medical foot care is less about the aesthetics and look of the feet. With a focus on the foot function and health.

    Foot care nurses are health professionals with advanced training.

    Foot care nurses use sterile to the point-of-use tools in individual steam sterilized packs. We are dedicated to keeping you safe during care. This is especially important in diabetic clients, complex health conditions, and clients at greater risk of infections.
