Foot care without the transport van
At-risk foot care is one of the highest-yield things you can do for a diabetic resident, and one of the easiest to let slide when it requires an outing. We bring it to the room.
What we treat
Podiatry covers a wide range
Every referral is assessed on its own merits. If a resident needs a different specialty or a higher level of care, we say so plainly.
Conditions we manage
- Diabetic and at-risk foot screening
- Onychomycosis and nail dystrophy
- Ingrown and incurvated nails
- Corns, calluses and hyperkeratosis
- Heel pain and plantar fasciitis
- Forefoot and arch deformity
- Charcot foot monitoring
- Plantar ulcer prevention
- Toe and nail infections
At the bedside
What we do at the bedside
What the clinician actually does in the room.
At-risk foot examination
Vascular, neurologic and structural assessment on a documented schedule.
Nail and callus debridement
Routine and at-risk care performed in the room with proper instrumentation.
Biomechanical assessment
Gait, pressure points and deformity, with findings sent to your therapy team.
Offloading and footwear
Recommendations that account for what the resident will actually keep on their feet.
Therapeutic shoe coordination
Qualification, measurement and supplier coordination for diabetic footwear.
Minor in-room procedures
Nail procedures and simple lesion care, with sterile technique at the bedside.
Wound line hand-off
Ulcerated feet move to our wound care team without a second referral.
Care pathway
How a podiatry referral moves
Sequential by design — every step is a hand-off with a named owner, so nothing sits waiting for someone to notice it.
- Facility list or single referral. Most buildings start us with a standing at-risk list.
- Risk stratification. Residents sorted by neuropathy, vascular status and ulcer history.
- Scheduled rounding. A recurring day per building, sized to the list.
- Treatment and documentation. Care delivered and filed with the risk category recorded.
- Escalation when needed. Ulceration, infection or ischemia routed to wound care or vascular same week.
Settings served
