Residences offering the foot care service
Here is the complete list of the 576 retirement homes and senior living communities in Quebec that offer foot care to their residents. With age, the skin gets thinner, nails get thicker and bending down to care for your feet becomes harder. Regular senior foot care helps prevent pain, wounds and infections, and helps maintain good mobility. Foot care in the elderly is especially important for people with diabetes or poor blood circulation.
In a retirement home, the service works like in-home foot care for seniors: the professional comes to the resident, often a foot care nurse or a licensed practical nurse trained in foot care. Residents don't have to go out or arrange transportation. Depending on the residence, care may include nail trimming, treatment of corns and calluses, skin hydration and foot examinations. Frequency and fees vary from one residence to another, so ask about them during your visit.
Use the filters to narrow your search by region, city or type of accommodation, whether you are looking for a retirement home for independent or semi-independent seniors or one that offers more care. Each listing describes the services, care and amenities available on site. Need help choosing?
