New foot care and toe nailcutting services are being set up across Devon
In recent surveys of older people’s concerns, undertaken both nationally and locally, it emerged that a major worry was around maintaining healthy feet - how to get toenails cut and feet looked after. The impact of uncomfortable or painful feet on an older person’s mobility, confidence and safety from falls was considerable.
As part of the My Life, My Choice project foot care and toe nail cutting services are being set up across Devon. You can read all about it in our Leaflet on footcare services May 2008
Services are now available in the following areas - See these posters for contact details.
Exeter (Estuary League of Friends)
Mid Devon (Healthy Living Community)
