Senior Footwise

Senior Footwise is a mobile medical foot care practice on the North Shore that brings routine foot care to seniors in their homes. It is run by a registered nurse with a BSN who has more than 23 years of experience in home care, hospice and Alzheimer’s care. Services address common problems such as fungal nail infections, corns and calluses, dry cracked heels, athlete’s foot and flat feet, with care aimed at comfort, mobility and independence.

A comprehensive initial visit looks at how a person walks and stands, the shoes they wear daily and exactly where pain occurs. The practice offers specialized care for people with osteoarthritis and autoimmune conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, and diabetic foot care focused on healing and lowering the risk of infection. Educating seniors and their caregivers about preventive care is a stated goal, and the practice also reaches out to older adults who live alone.
