Introducing Home Instead’s New Nail Care Service!
We’re thrilled to announce our brand-new nail care service! We understand that many of our clients face challenges in accessing trained nail care professionals, so we decided to bring the service directly to you!
Why is Professional Nail Care Important?
Most of us don’t think about our toenails until we experience pain or discomfort. However, conditions like ingrown toenails and infections can become more serious as we age and can begin to affect mobility. Issues such as brittle nails, discolouration, or numb toes can also be early signs of underlying health conditions.
By scheduling regular home nail care appointments with Home Instead, you can rely on our experienced and friendly Care Professionals to spot potential problems early, while also ensuring your feet feel refreshed from head to toe.
What Does a Nail Care Appointment Involve?
We specialise in home care to help you or your loved one avoid the stress of traveling for appointments and preserve as much independence as possible. Nail care is no exception. Our trained Care Professionals come to you, providing:
- A pre-visit risk assessment for conditions like diabetes, poor circulation, and more (please note, diabetic nail care requires specialist foot care from a GP).
- A Care Professional with an accredited nail cutting and care qualification.
- Regular checks for early signs of health issues and, if needed, recommendations for further clinical care.
- A full pedicure service, including trimming, filing, and cuticle maintenance, with the option of moisturising and applying nail polish.
- A thorough cleaning to refresh nails and keep feet infection-free, plus a relaxing massage to enhance wellbeing.
Why Is Nail Care Best Delivered at Home?
Getting chiropody appointments through the NHS can be difficult due to long wait times. Our service offers a valuable alternative, focusing on maintaining nail health as a preventative measure rather than treating existing conditions.
Benefits of receiving care at home include:
- Eliminating the stress of travel to and from appointments.
- Flexibility to work around daily routines, schedules, and mobility challenges.
- Reducing the risk of infection, which can be higher in clinical environments.
- A familiar and comfortable setting that allows you or your loved one to relax.
Our new nail care service is available to both Home Instead clients and those who would benefit from at-home care, even if they are not currently clients. For more details or to schedule an appointment, please call 01759 486486.
