Foot Care Service

Groups of older people

 
The aim of the Foot Care Service is to provide a basic toe nail cutting service for people over the age of 55, living in Preston, Longridge or South Ribble, who for whatever reason are unable to cut their toe nails for themselves. Nail cutting is provided within the persons own home by trained staff and volunteers.

Prior to commencing the service you will be assessed by Age Concern’s designated NHS Podiatrist, who ensures that you are suitable for the service

We are unable to provide treatment for:

* Corns
* Bunions
* Hard skin
 
We are unable to provide the service for people who:

* Have certain medical conditions such as diabetes or problems with circulation
* Taking medication such as anticoagulants or steroids

A small charge is made for this service to cover the cost of equipment and travel.

If you wish to use this service or would like further information, please contact us on 01772 552853.  Out of office hours a message can be left on our telephone answering machine.

Your comments: “Ringing Age Concern Foot Care has been one of the best moves I have ever made.  My feet are so comfortable now, I am near to dancing, I feel so much better in myself, and I feel great. Thank you very much”.
