Foot Care

Footcare service for older people in Hereford and localities

What does it do?

We provide a basic toenail cutting and filing service for the over-50s, who have difficulty cutting their own toenails, owing to frailty or a disability of some sort. Please note that this is not a chiropody service.

Our footcare service is delivered by volunteers who have received training in basic footcare and toenail cutting from a registered chiropodist. Please note that this scheme is not suitable for those requiring more complex foot treatment or people with certain medical conditions.

Who it is for?

Age UK Hereford and Localities offers a wide range of services which are available to those aged 50 and over, their families and carers.

Where it is available?

Local service (Herefordshire).

What it costs:

A footcare appointment costs £12.

There is an initial additional charge of £15 for a footcare kit, which is then used for the same client at each subsequent appointment.
