“I wanted to call and thank you again for coming to my home and taking care of me and my feet. They just feel so wonderful. Thank you, and thank you for being so caring and understanding!”
Jack Kennedy: a client who stands on his feet all day
Who We Are
We are a skilled nursing service of board certified nurses who specialize in the care of feet to prevent pain, wounds and falls. Our goal is to enhance overall foot function and quality of life by improving nail and skin health, enhancing range of motion, optimizing foot function, and improving circulation. During care we also support the mind and spirit and share knowledge. This holistic philosophy of care is as old as Florence Nightingale and is a refreshingly different approach to care of the feet. We invite you to try it. We take care of all feet including medically compromised and diabetic feet. The majority of our work is with elders.
We take care of people who use their feet to keep active, including those with chronic illness and memory challenges. If you are a diabetic, have neuropathy, or are unable to reach your feet due to surgery or other obstacles or health issues, we are happy to be your foot angels. Our mission is prevention, and our passion is caring, and our role in health care is to keep all happy and healthy by taking care of feet.
“I am so ashamed of my feet, but you made me feel so comfortable and safe. My feet feel fantastic. When can I see you again?”
OUR MISSION IS PREVENTION
Caring for feet is not just about nails or the cosmetic look of the foot. Our evidence-based nursing practices focus on improving overall foot function. Preventing a wound or a fall begins with an examination of your feet to make certain shoes are fitting and laced correctly and socks are working properly. We can release foot tension to enable better movement which leads to better balance. We also spend focused time helping our patients understand how to prevent a wound or fall, all while supporting overall health and well being.
Our Passion Is Caring
Our core values are kindness, caring, compassion, and integrity. Our nurses and the staff at FootCare by Nurses believe everyone deserves great evidence-based foot care. We have built a world where the patient-nurse relationship has trust extending beyond standard care.
What to Expect
After an assessment, we individualize each treatment plan and then work to reduce foot pain, prevent infections, and improve balance to help prevent falls.
During your visit our nurses are guided in practice by state law. You might expect some of the following to occur:
- A thorough assessment of your shoes, socks, balance, skin and pulses to put together a picture of your foot health
