Age Concern Hampshire Offers Affordable Foot Care Clinics for Older Residents
Hampshire, UK – As inflation rates continue to rise and research highlights the crucial link between foot health and overall mobility, Age Concern Hampshire is stepping in to provide regular and affordable Foot Care Clinics for residents over 50.
These clinics offer a vital service for older individuals who are struggling to cover everyday expenses, including healthcare. Age Concern Hampshire’s Foot Care Clinics, which operate on a 6 weekly basis, provide professional toenail cutting and foot health checks by fully qualified Foot Health Practitioners.
“Our Foot Care Clinics provide a safe, professional, and affordable service for older people who might otherwise go without vital foot care,” said Una Davey, Head of Commercial at Age Concern Hampshire. “With living expenses rising, we are committed to making essential foot care as affordable and accessible as possible.”
With the costs of private chiropody appointments often out of reach for older individuals, these clinics play a crucial role in ensuring that foot health is not neglected due to financial constraints. Each Foot Health Practitioner is professionally trained and has undergone a criminal records (DBS) check, providing peace of mind for patients.
In addition to providing toenail cutting and foot health checks, practitioners are also trained to identify potential issues and provide advice on when to seek specialist support. This is especially important for older individuals, as foot health is essential for maintaining mobility and preventing serious complications such as infections and falls.
Age Concern Hampshire has recently extended its reach across the county and now offers 61 Foot Care Clinics every 6 weeks across 15 venues. This expansion allows for more older individuals to access affordable and professional foot care services.
“By making foot care affordable and accessible, Age Concern Hampshire helps older people maintain their independence and wellbeing,” added Davey.
For those interested in booking an appointment or finding out more about the Foot Care Clinics, information is available on Age Concern Hampshire’s website or by calling 01962 868545.
