Mobile Podiatry for Assisted Living | St. Louis

Getting older doesn't mean slowing down — but foot problems can certainly make it feel that way. For residents in assisted living facilities across the St. Louis metro, healthy feet are the foundation of independence, mobility, and quality of life. That's where mobile podiatry comes in.

Foot problems are more common than you think

Did you know that nearly 75% of older adults have toenail disorders, and over half deal with painful corns, calluses, or toe deformities? Many residents in assisted living have difficulty with basic foot care — and when these issues go unaddressed, they can lead to pain, infections, and even dangerous falls.

Preventing falls starts with your feet

Falls are one of the biggest health risks for older adults, and foot problems are a major contributing factor. Research shows that a comprehensive podiatry program — including routine foot care, proper footwear, custom orthotics, and simple ankle-strengthening exercises — can reduce fall rates by over 20%. Healthy feet mean steadier steps and greater confidence.

Diabetic foot care — right at your door

For residents living with diabetes, regular foot exams aren't just recommended — they're essential. Nerve damage and poor circulation can turn a small blister or crack into a serious wound. National guidelines recommend that individuals with diabetes receive a thorough foot evaluation at least once a year, and more often for those at higher risk. Our mobile podiatry service brings this critical care directly to you, helping prevent ulcers, infections, and hospitalizations.

What does a mobile podiatry visit include?

We bring the clinic to you. During a visit, you can expect:

  • Nail care — safe, professional care of thickened or fungal nails
  • Skin care — removal of painful corns and calluses, and treatment of dry or cracked skin
  • Foot health screening — checking circulation, sensation, and skin integrity
  • Footwear assessment — making sure shoes fit properly and provide the right support
  • Fall prevention guidance — exercises and recommendations to keep you steady on your feet
  • Wound monitoring — early detection and management of any concerning areas

Why mobile podiatry?

We understand that getting to a clinic isn't always easy. Transportation can be a challenge, appointments can be tiring, and waiting rooms aren't always comfortable. That's why we come to you — providing expert podiatric care in the comfort and convenience of your assisted living community. No travel. No hassle. Just quality care, right where you are.

Your feet deserve attention

Foot pain is not a normal part of aging — it's a treatable condition. Whether it's a bothersome toenail, a painful callus, concerns about diabetes, or simply wanting to stay steady on your feet, we're here to help.

Don't wait until a small problem becomes a big one.
