It’s easy to take your feet for granted, but healthy feet are critically important in maintaining your independence and quality of life as you age.
Routine foot care is especially important for seniors, because even minor issues — wounds and ingrown toenails, for example — can lead to serious complications, including infections, if left untreated.
Alabama Foot Care at Home provides quality, in-home foot care for seniors and the homebound.
Jason Patterson, who founded Alabama Foot Care at Home in 2023, is an Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner and Certified Foot Care Specialist.
He has a team of four nurses seeing patients in their homes in Birmingham, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Hoover and Helena.
Alabama Foot Care at Home offers skin and nail assessments; nail trimming; treatment of fungal nails, corns and calluses; neurological and diabetic foot examinations; and massage for the feet and lower legs to stimulate blood flow and prevent swelling.
“It is preventive care to save limbs,” Patterson says.
The work he does with patients is “incredibly gratifying,” Patterson says. “We provide the best quality routine foot care.”
Alabama Foot Care at Home doesn’t accept insurance and Medicare, and all visits are private pay. By avoiding insurance red tape, Patterson can give his patients “more immediate access to care,” he says.
