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.
His team of four nurses serves communities throughout Birmingham, Mountain Brook, Vestavia Hills, Hoover and Helena. The care team meets patients at their home, whether that’s a private residence, assisted living facility, memory care facility, group home or nursing home.
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 or Medicare. All visits are private pay at this time. By avoiding insurance red tape, Patterson can give his patients “more immediate access to care,” he says.
