92 year old toe nails with keratin build-up.

Some podiatrists will
come to the house if that makes it easier .

It sounds like you have a plan for your moms nails. My uncle used a Dremel such as the one on the link. It did the job for several family members in their 90s.

I don't think her needs are being ignored. Toenails are just not a thing "guys" would think about. Glad to hear of the options available to me. I'm not sure she can make it to a podiatrist's office. Mobility is a bit of an issue. I'm going to try to continue soaking and treating as before. I think I can get them under control; its not really that bad, just looks like they've not been done for a long time. Thankfully, she's not complained of any kind of pain or issues with feet. And she actually seems to enjoy the pampering I give her. So I think for now, I'll continue to give her manicures and pedicures at home since I can and its easier on her emotionally. If we run into problems in the future, I'll request that POA helps with a podiatrist appointment. Thanks everyone for the input. This is a great venue to get ideas and advice.

Once you get her nails smoother and thinner, you can go to a pedicurist. But until they're under control, you need a podiatrist.

I agree--if the toenails are being ignored, what else is being forgotten?

Your brother may not want to go into a nail salon but would happily go to a Dr.

Podiatrist. This isn’t something a pedicure can help.

Medicare pays for toenail cutting ever 10 weeks.

Being a man, he may not realize the needs of a woman. So approach it that way.

Yes. Podiatrist.
Let the POA know she needs to attend podiatrist. He will have the means to make the appointment as he is currently, I assume, in charge of her medical and medical documents.

Is she getting other regular medical care?

Is she living alone?

What else is being overlooked?

Yes, a podiatrist for sure.

She needs to go to a podiatrist . Speak to him about it .
Offer to take her , I can’t see why your brother would say No . Do you think he would say No?
