Foot Care in Calgary, AB and How Senior Care Services Can Help

Home > Foot Care

Foot care is more important than you may realize. Learn how our senior care services in Calgary, AB can help address foot care and help your loved one stay healthy.

Older adults often suffer from frequent or chronic foot pain. Foot pain can lead to larger issues later on including problems with mobility and blood circulation. Foot pain can also be an indicator of other issues occurring in the body and should always be taken seriously. Many seniors already struggle with limited mobility and additional issues with their feet can make walking and getting around a miserable experience. This is why our caregivers are trained to care for seniors with foot pain and similar conditions and use senior care services to help them stay on top of their health.

Regular Foot Care Through Senior Care Services

At Comfort Keepers, we know that proper foot care is essential, especially for individuals who suffer from conditions such as diabetes and arthritis or those who experience frequent calluses or nail deformities. Our senior care services include regular foot care to ensure that issues are caught early on and can be addressed before they worsen.

These senior care services can be performed by you at home as well. Here is a list of some of the best ways to stay on top of your foot health at home:

  • Pay attention to changes of the skin and soles of the feet. Cuts, cracks, bruises, blisters and sores can be a sign that there is a larger problem at hand. If these become frequent or do not heal quickly you may want to consult a medical professional.
  • Be vigilant of any distinct or unfamiliar odors. If odors persist you may want to consider implementing a more frequent and focused foot care routine.

Things That You Can Do To Help

There are several senior care services and methods that you can incorporate into your daily regimen to ensure that your feet are receiving the proper care, including:

  • Getting regular pedicures, whether it’s a medical pedicure, one from the salon or simply one you are performing at home. Pedicures will help you stay clean and on top of things while helping you identify any changes or anything that looks abnormal.
  • Many foot disorders stem from an increase in muscle tension which is why regular foot baths can be very beneficial. Foot baths can help relax the muscles in your feet while also soothing and healing dry skin.
  • Ensuring that you are wearing the proper attire on your feet. Wearing shoes and socks that are comfortable are key factors in keeping your feet healthy and pain free. Be sure to choose socks that are not too restrictive and give you room to breathe and be sure that your shoes fit nicely but leave some wiggle room as well.

If you have any questions regarding our senior care services and the ways that we can help you or your loved one stay in control of their foot health, please contact us online or call our office today at 587-804-5338.
