I take my parents to a local podiatrist. it is covered by Medicare. They may have in home in your area, but they don't in mine, but I know some areas do, so check into it. Call your Dad's general DR. and get a referral.
If your dad is considered pretty much house-bound, Medicare will pay for someone to come to the house. I think I'd be inclined to see if I could contact a social worker at the nearest hospital for a name...or his doctor. Mom isn't completely housebound. She goes to an Adult Daycare once a week, but it's a Godsend. They come every six weeks like clockwork. In and out in 10-15 minutes.
Podiatry services are covered by Medicare. Can you call his primary and ask for a referral? Others on this site have more info on this than I do, hopefully they'll weigh in soon! Hugs!
