Aged Care Podiatry

Our podiatrists are able to provide care to residents living in retirement villages, aged care facilities, and group homes across the local area. We currently service residents at Peninsula Village and are happy to discuss how we can help to service you. 

Within the aged care setting, our podiatrists will help with the following:

• Maintaining basic foot care (including nail care, corn enucleation and callus debridement)
• Choosing appropriate footwear
• Monitoring and addressing circulatory and sensation issues that may cause complications in clients with peripheral vascular disease and/or diabetes
• Attending to lower-limb wounds and ulcers
• Diagnosis and treatment of lower-limb and foot musculoskeletal pathology to keep clients on their feet, aiming to prevent falls and maintain clients’ activity, especially ambulation

Medicare Chronic Disease Management plans and DVA referral programs are also accepted for aged care facility podiatry services.

If you or your loved ones are a resident of a village, facility or group home and you would like to see if we provide services at that location, please give us a call on (02) 4342 2878.
