Nail Cutting Service

Healthy, comfortable feet are essential, especially for older people and Age Connects Neath Port Talbot’s nail cutting and non-surgical foot care service has again proved to be a revelation for hundreds of older people this year. As we age, some people need assistance with cutting their toe/finger nails and arthritic joints, tough overgrown toenails, hard skin, corns and ingrowing toenails can make wearing shoes, balancing and walking comfortably almost impossible. 

Most of us do not really give a lot of consideration to having our nails cut, but if you are elderly, suffer from restricted movement, susceptible to infections or conditions such as diabetes, then our nail cutting and foot care service could be a very important aspect of your healthcare.

With a number of community based clinics operating across Neath Port Talbot, our specially trained and insured health professionals keep people out and about and on their feet. If getting to one of our clinics proves difficult, we provide a visiting service, where we will visit you at your home, in hospital, a care home or sheltered/supported accommodation.

Please note, this is a chargeable service and some medical exclusions apply. Prices start at £15.00 per clinic appointment and £25.00 per home visit. Our charge covers all expenses including single use instruments as advised by NHS Podiatry.

Prior to your first appointment, we will need to know about your general health and any medication that you are taking, so a short questionnaire will be necessary. If you have any health conditions which prevent us from assisting you, we will make a direct referral to the NHS Podiatry Service. 

The benefits of maintaining good foot health is being felt by hundreds of customers each month, and the feedback we are receiving is highlighting that the service is helping older people to remain active, independent and reduce their risk of falls. 

Never ignore minor foot problems as they could get worse.
