Aged Care Podiatry
Regular podiatry for older adults at home, in retirement living and in residential aged care.
Overview
We provide podiatry for older adults across Adelaide, including private homes, retirement living and residential aged care.
Foot problems have an outsized effect on older adults. Painful nails or a build-up of hard skin can make every step uncomfortable, and reduced circulation or sensation raises the risk of wounds that are slow to heal. Regular podiatry keeps feet comfortable and picks up changes early, which supports mobility, balance and confidence on the feet.
Most aged care clients are seen on a regular cycle for nail and skin care, with diabetes foot checks and footwear reviews built in where needed. Family members, carers and facility staff are welcome to arrange and manage bookings on a resident’s behalf.
We visit private homes, retirement villages and residential aged care facilities across Adelaide. For facilities, a single attendance can cover several residents, with notes provided for care records.
