Interesting question I am in Oregon too. I can get the “bath lady” to cut my wife’s fingernails (she digs herself and gets sores ) but I have been told they are not allowed to cut toenails. I just can not figure out the logic behind that.
Ive gotten pretty good at cutting my mother's wonky toenails although she needs to see her podiatrist. Even though he stopped taking her Humana medicare he only charged $40 to cut them. Maybe try checking a couple Podiatrists and ask if they have a discount for paying cash.
yes but we had some one at the senior center but they kick her out she charge $35.00 and that was not to bad . older senior have problem beening down or seeing to cut there nails If you have to go to foot doctor they charge $50.00 or more and trying to live on a fit income that to must . If you are a diabetes medcare will paid for it. and that not right.
Some senior centers may have info about this or your local Area Agency on Aging. If your LO is remotely able to step up to a pedicure platform, you can still consider this. We took my 100-yr old Aunt with advanced dementia for pedicures and she loved it. The staff was very understanding of her lack of filter and her behaviors.
I agree, Alva. A senior definitely needs someone with the skills of working with the feet of an elder who may have circulation issues, diabetes, thinning skin, etc.
