Footcare

Sole Mates is a simple footcare service to help maintain and improve the independence and mobility of older people in our community.

It is not a medical service but a common sense approach to basic footcare. Volunteers spend time with each client chatting while they bathe their feet, trim their toenails and finish with a relaxing, gentle foot massage.

We offer this service in older people's homes, day centres and at special footcare sessions in community venues. Regular treatments are given every 6 to 8 weeks, dependent on individual need.

This service is for older people who are unable to cut their own nails through reasons of frailty and difficulty bending, poor eyesight or problems with dexterity. There is a fee of £7 per treatment.
