As we age, maintaining proper foot health becomes essential to overall well-being. Seniors often experience foot-related issues due to reduced mobility, chronic conditions like diabetes or arthritis, and difficulty in self-care. At Fabulous Foot Care by Mayur, we provide professional, nurse-led foot care services tailored to seniors’ needs, ensuring comfort, safety, and mobility. In this blog, we address common concerns related to senior foot care, discuss the best at-home routines, and explain why professional foot care is vital.
Foot care can be provided by different professionals depending on the level of care required. Basic foot hygiene, such as washing and moisturizing feet, can be handled by caregivers or family members. However, for more specialized needs—such as nail trimming, callus removal, fungal infections, and ingrown toenails— a certified foot care nurse is recommended.
A foot care nurse is qualified to assess and manage various foot conditions, provide treatment, and offer preventive care to reduce the risk of complications. At Fabulous Foot Care by Mayur, our expert nurse provides professional foot care services in clinics and at home, ensuring seniors receive the specialized attention they deserve.

Taking care of senior feet requires a combination of daily hygiene, routine foot checks, and professional care. Here are some essential foot care tips for the elderly:
Daily Foot Hygiene: Wash feet with warm water and mild soap, then dry thoroughly, especially between the toes, to prevent fungal infections.
Moisturization: Apply a non-greasy, unscented moisturizer to prevent dry, cracked skin.
Proper Toenail Care: Keep nails trimmed straight across and avoid cutting too short to prevent ingrown toenails.
Regular Foot Inspections: Check for redness, swelling, cuts, or infections, especially for seniors with diabetes.
Comfortable Footwear: Wear well-fitting shoes with adequate support and cushioning.
Avoid Walking Barefoot: Reduces the risk of injury and infection.
A professional foot care nurse plays a crucial role in detecting early signs of foot problems, ensuring seniors maintain healthy feet. Schedule a professional foot care visit today to keep your feet in optimal condition.
An effective home foot care routine helps seniors maintain foot health between professional visits. Here’s a simple routine to follow:
Soak Feet Once a Week: Soaking feet in warm water for 10–15 minutes softens nails and calluses.
Apply Moisturizer Daily: Prevents cracked heels and dry skin.
Trim Nails Every 4-6 Weeks: Helps prevent thickened nails and infections.
Use a Foot File or Pumice Stone: Reduces calluses and corns gently.
Check Feet Daily: Look for any cuts, blisters, or changes in color.
Seek Professional Care for Foot Pain or Infections: A foot care nurse can provide expert treatment and recommendations.
Foot problems can significantly impact a senior’s mobility and quality of life. Conditions like diabetic neuropathy, arthritis, and poor circulation make routine foot care even more critical. Research shows that professional foot care helps prevent foot ulcers, infections, and amputations, particularly in diabetic patients (Singh et al., 2005).
At Fabulous Foot Care by Mayur, we specialize in diabetic foot care, ingrown toenail treatments (using Onyfix), and fungal infection management with the advanced ToeFX system. Our goal is to prevent complications and promote comfort through expert, nurse-led foot care.

Our family feels extremely fortunate to have Mayur looking after Dad and we would highly recommend this skilled and caring individual
