Podiatry is crucial for our elderly residents as it focuses on maintaining good foot health and addressing common issues affecting mobility and overall well-being. Regular podiatry care helps prevent discomfort, enhances mobility, and reduces the risk of more severe complications.

Our residents benefit from personalised podiatry services tailored to their unique needs. The frequency of these services is determined by individual requirements, ensuring that each resident receives the attention necessary to maintain optimal foot health.

Podiatrists commonly address various foot issues in the elderly, including corns, calluses, fungal infections, and structural concerns like bunions or arthritis. They also play a crucial role in early detection and management of issues related to infection control, ensuring a proactive approach to foot health.

Podiatry collaborates seamlessly with other healthcare services through a coordinated approach. Communication and information sharing among healthcare professionals ensure comprehensive care for residents. This collaboration is particularly essential in areas like infection control, where podiatrists work alongside other healthcare providers to maintain a safe and hygienic environment.

Signs indicating the need for podiatry services include persistent foot pain, changes in skin or nail colour, and difficulty walking. Family members can stay informed by actively participating in care discussions, attending scheduled appointments, and communicating any observed changes or concerns to our healthcare team, ensuring timely intervention and infection control measures if needed.
