Foot Care Nursing in Point Douglas
Foot Care Nursing. Nurse-led. Doctor-supported.
Professional foot care delivered at home by trained nurses — essential for diabetic clients, seniors with mobility limits, and anyone who can no longer safely do their own foot care.
Care planning in Point Douglas: Point Douglas care planning can connect Health Sciences Centre follow-up with nursing, personal care, care navigation, transportation, dementia support, or continuous coverage. Cultural and caregiver preferences should be discussed directly during assessment, not assumed from the postal area.

A plan for the person, the home, and the schedule
How the service fits
In-home foot care can reduce travel for a person with mobility limits and support regular nail, callus, skin, circulation, and diabetic-foot monitoring by a foot care nurse.
Hospital and appointment handoff
If care follows a stay or appointment at Health Sciences Centre, share the discharge date, written instructions, medication changes, mobility limits, equipment needs, and follow-up schedule. Prime provides discharge planning, hospital-to-home transportation, appointment escorts, nursing, and post-surgery support.
Home and scheduling details
The nurse assessment should review entrances, stairs or elevators, bathroom access, safe transfers, medication storage, caregiver access, parking, and whether overnight support is required. Confirm preferred visit times, appointment dates, family handoffs, language preferences, and whether overnight care means an awake shift or a live-in arrangement.
