Why Quality Nursing Foot Care Is Essential in LTC Facilities
Our foot care nurses provide assessments and treatments right at long-term care facilities. Comprehensive Care
We offer a full range of foot care services for residents. Our nurses will inspect feet for any concerns like corns, calluses, ingrown toenails or other issues. We provide treatments like trimming nails, smoothing calluses and corns, and addressing any infections or wounds.
Professional Staff
Our foot care nurses are highly trained and experienced in providing care for seniors and those with mobility issues or diabetes. They take the time to properly assess each resident’s needs and provide the necessary treatment and education on proper foot care.
Regular Visits
We work with facilities to establish a schedule of regular visits so we can provide ongoing foot care for residents. Our frequent visits allow us to closely monitor residents’ foot health, catch any issues early and ensure the best outcomes.
Peace of Mind
Our program provides facilities and families with the peace of mind that comes from knowing residents’ foot care needs are being properly addressed by medical professionals. With our experience and expertise, you can feel confident your loved ones’ feet are in good hands.
Education
Our Caring and Compassionate Approach
When a resident enters a long-term care facility, their foot care needs often become more complex and require specialized nursing care. As people age, conditions like diabetes, arthritis, and circulation problems become more common and can lead to foot ulcers or infections if left untreated.
Prevention and Assessment
The key to quality foot care is prevention and early assessment. Skilled nursing foot care nurses regularly examine residents’ feet to check for any signs of injury, infection, or changes in skin integrity. They also educate residents and staff on proper foot care to prevent issues from developing in the first place.
Treatment and Management
If a foot issue does arise, nursing foot care nurses are trained to provide treatment. They can properly clean and bandage wounds, prescribe special shoes or orthotics, and monitor conditions to ensure they are healing properly. For severe cases, they will consult with physicians regarding further treatment.
Providing Education
Providing Assessments and Treatments in-Home or on-Site
At Advanced Foot Care Nurse and Wellness Centre Inc., we believe that providing quality care means more than just treating medical issues. It’s about showing compassion for our clients and understanding what they need to live comfortably and happily.
Building Trusting Relationships
Our nurses take the time to get to know each client personally and build a trusting relationship. We understand that receiving foot care can make some people feel vulnerable, so our staff are trained to be sensitive, discrete and help put clients at ease. By listening to our clients’ concerns and taking a genuine interest in their well-being, we aim to make each interaction as positive an experience as possible.
Customized Care Plans
We don’t take a one-size-fits-all approach. Our nurses evaluate each client’s unique situation and needs to develop a comprehensive, individualized care plan. Whether providing care in a long-term care facility or in a client’s own home, we make sure to understand their daily habits, challenges, and what is most important for their health, mobility, and quality of life. Care plans are then tailored to address issues that matter most to each client.
