Professional nail care to keep your feet feeling their best.
Are you finding it harder to keep up with toenail care? Whether it’s due to difficulty reaching your feet, reduced vision, or simply struggling to use nail clippers, maintaining healthy nails can become more challenging with age.
If proper nail care has become difficult, you are not alone. Many older adults face similar challenges, and professional support can make all the difference. Our gentle and hygienic toenail cutting service takes the stress out of foot care, ensuring nails are trimmed correctly and comfortably.
With quality care, you can avoid discomfort and keep your feet feeling their best.
As we grow older, our nails undergo changes as a natural part of the ageing process. You may notice cosmetic changes such as thicker or more brittle nails, as well as discolouration or a duller appearance. Additional factors such as reduced circulation, thinner skin and even lifestyle changes such as wearing shoes and socks more often, can increase the risk of further complications to your feet including fungal infections, blisters, hard skin and calluses, and ingrown toenails.
For many older people, changes to overall wellbeing can also make proper nail care more challenging. Poor vision and reduced flexibility can make it harder to see or access the feet comfortably, increasing the risk of neglect or improper trimming.
Arthritis may limit hand strength and dexterity, making it difficult to hold nail clippers or maintain a steady grip.
For those with impaired mobility, simply reaching the feet to care for nails can feel like an impossible task. If age related changes are making it harder for you to maintain the health of your toenails, we may be able to help.
Proper foot care plays an essential role in maintaining overall health and wellbeing as we age. Regular nail trimming helps to prevent common issues such as thickening, ingrown nails, and pressure sores, all of which may cause pain and discomfort if not addressed.
Keeping nails at a manageable length reduces the risk of pressure on the toes, which can lead to difficulties with walking or wearing shoes comfortably. By addressing foot health proactively, seniors can maintain better mobility, reducing the likelihood of trips or falls.
Routine nail care also provides an opportunity to identify potential problems early before they develop into more serious conditions. Changes in nail colour, texture, or growth patterns can indicate underlying health concerns such as fungal infections, circulation issues, or even diabetes-related complications.
By having toenails professionally trimmed and feet regularly examined, these warning signs can be identified sooner, allowing for early intervention and treatment.
Painful or neglected feet can make daily activities difficult, discouraging movement and reducing quality of life. Maintaining healthy nails through regular care can support older adults in walking comfortably, staying active, and maintaining their independence for longer.

To maintain healthy feet, it’s important to establish a regular foot care routine. Wash your feet daily using warm water and mild soap to keep them clean and free from bacteria. After washing, dry them thoroughly, especially between the toes, to prevent fungal infections.
In addition to hygiene, regular moisturising can prevent dry or cracked skin, and wearing well-fitted, supportive shoes can help maintain comfort and stability.
