Looking after our feet is important in helping to maintain comfort and mobility but, particularly as we get older, this is often easier said than done!
Blackmore Vale Foot Care provides a professional, friendly and confidential foot care service in clients’ homes. Fully qualified and insured, all common foot problems are treated, for example, corns, calluses, ingrown, difficult to cut nails and general foot care. Diabetic foot assessment and care is provided, along with a nail cutting service. If necessary, and with the clients’ consent, referrals are made to chiropodists/podiatrists when clinic treatment is required or when a bio-mechanical assessment may be beneficial. Liaison with GPs and community nurses are also made should the need arise and, again, with clients’ consent.
Based in Marnhull, but now covering most of North Dorset and neighbouring areas, the service was established in 2005 by Gillian Walsham. Clients appreciated home visits as this saved the hassle of making a trip to town! Due to increased demand, Gillian was joined by her sisters Rosemary Prince and Caroline Fryer and in 2018 Anna Rhys joined the team. Professional indemnity insurance and current DBS clearance to work in people’s homes is in place. Many clients book regular appointments of between six and eight weeks but some request a visit on an ‘as and when needed’ basis.
As well as visits to clients’ homes, we visit local residential/nursing homes and local hospitals at the request of clients, staff or relatives.
