We can help you look after your feet

What does the service offer?

We visit you at home to trim your toenails. The Footcare Agent will gently massage your feet at the end of the visit. This is not obligatory but most of our clients enjoy having moisturiser rubbed into their feet.

A Footcare Agent will contact you by telephone to arrange a time to visit. They will not arrive at your home without notice. All our Footcare Agents (and all Age UK Milton Keynes personnel) carry proof of identity and will be happy to show you their identity badge. Please ask to see proof of identity if you are at all unsure.

During the initial appointment the Footcare Agent will:

• Assess the condition of your feet, record their findings and confirm the charge before cutting your nails.
• Talk to you about any medical conditions you may have and what you expect from the service.
• This is your opportunity to decide how often you would like your toenails trimmed, although you can always change your mind later if you need to be visited more, or less, frequently.

Who is it for?

For older people and people with a physical disability, or learning disability, who can no longer manage to cut their own toenails.

Additional information

• If more than a simple toenail cut is required or you are diabetic, or have other health issues that affect the condition of your feet, the charge will be more than £25, depending on the Footcare Agent and the service offered. Our Footcare Agent will discuss this with you at the time of making the first appointment.
• Most people pay in cash or by cheque at the time of the visit. We will come to an arrangement that suits you and the Footcare Agent.
• On average our Footcare Agents visit people every four to six weeks
• Our Footcare Agent will confirm the charge with you at each appointment.

Please note that due to high demand, we are currently operating a waiting list for appointments and can not specify how soon you will be seen. Thank you for your patience.
