The Footcare Service offers you access to a DBS checked footcare provider in your area who can arrange to cut your toenails in your own home.
What does the service offer?
Once we have confirmed a footcare practitioner is available in your area, they will contact you to arrange a visit at your home to assess your needs and agree a regular toenail-cutting service, usually every six to eight weeks, depending on how often you need the service.
During the initial appointment the Footcare practitioner will:
• Assess the condition of your feet, record their findings and confirm the charge before cutting your nails.
• Talk to you about any medical conditions you may have and what you expect from the service.
• This is your opportunity to decide how often you would like your toenails trimmed, although you can always change your mind later if you need to be visited more, or less, frequently.
If you require more enhanced footcare, your practitioner may be able to help but this would be at an additional cost.
Who is it for?
For older people and people with a physical disability, or learning disability, who can no longer manage to cut their own toenails.
Additional information
• If more than a simple toenail cut is required or you are diabetic, or have other health issues that affect the condition of your feet, the charge will be more than £27, depending on the Footcare Practitioner and the service offered. The Footcare practitioner will discuss this with you at the time of making the first appointment.
• Most people pay in cash or by cheque at the time of the visit. You can come to an arrangement that suits you and the Footcare practitioner.
Please note that due to high demand, there is currently a waiting list for appointments and can not specify how soon you will be seen. Thank you for your patience.
