At Priyajeewaka Nursing Home, we recognize the importance of proper foot care in maintaining health and mobility, especially for our elderly residents and those with chronic conditions like diabetes. Our comprehensive range of foot care services aims to prevent and treat foot complications, ensuring that your loved one's feet remain healthy and pain-free.

Why Foot Care is Important

The feet are intricate structures that bear our weight and enable us to stand and move. However, foot care is often overlooked until problems arise. It's crucial to pay attention to foot health, particularly for individuals with diabetes, as they are more prone to foot issues due to nerve damage, reduced blood flow, and an increased risk of infections.

Special Care for Diabetic Feet

Diabetes can lead to severe foot problems if not properly managed. High blood sugar levels can damage the nerves, making it difficult to detect cracks, cuts, or sores on the feet that can easily become infected. At Priyajeewaka Nursing Home, we offer specialized care for diabetic feet, which includes:

• Routine Inspection: We regularly check for visible signs of damage, such as cracks, cuts, or sores, to identify and treat issues early.

• Individualized Care Plans: Our healthcare workers create tailored care plans for residents with diabetes to help maintain healthy blood sugar levels and prevent complications.

• Foot Care: We ensure that feet are kept clean and dry, reducing the risk of fungal infections, including athlete's foot.
