Aged Care
We have a special focus on Aged Care podiatry because we understand how difficult it becomes over time to care for your feet, toenails and skin. Reaching the feet can quickly become difficult and painful, cuts and wounds take longer to heal, the nails grow thicker and the skin has become either fragile and dry, or tough and calloused.
This is why we offer a full range of aged care foot and leg health services so you can be assured that your feet are looked after by a foot health expert.
We want you to be able to continue to do the things you love, maintain your independence and promote your overall health and well-being.
We don’t just provide an excellent podiatric service on the day of your appointment, we also strive to provide our patients with excellent podiatric care that will help to keep their feet healthy, comfortable, and safe. The podiatrists that care for your feet are highly skilled in aged care, meaning that they’re quick to identify potential risks and problems that may otherwise be missed. They have a thorough knowledge of the various challenges, complications and problems that come up as we age and are always up to date with the best practice guidelines on how to manage and care for each problem that comes up, so you always get the best results. Because some toenails grow faster than others, and some people require more regular management of their conditions or problems, your podiatrist will discuss with you the best appointment schedule for your feet and we can schedule multiple appointments in advance so you can easily plan for it.
It is our goal to see you feeling your best and moving as comfortably as possible for as long as possible.
