Podiatric Treatments: Enhancing Foot Health for Long-Term Care Residents

Our feet often signal the first signs of major health concerns like cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
At Wound Care Consultants Ohio, we recognize the crucial role podiatric services play in the lives of elderly and disabled individuals, particularly those in long-term care environments. Our foundation, laid by a second-generation podiatrist with decades of experience, is built on the understanding that maintaining mobility and independence is crucial for every patient.

Unique

Enhancing Mobility and Comfort Through Podiatric Care

We understand that foot health is a critical aspect of overall well-being, especially for those in long-term care facilities. Neglecting foot care can lead to complications, such as infections, ulcerations, and even foot amputations. That's why we prioritize regular podiatric check-ups and interventions to ensure that our patients maintain optimal foot health.
We are committed to providing personalized care that takes into account each patient's medical history, current health status, and specific needs. By working closely with nursing home staff and other healthcare providers, we ensure a holistic approach to foot care that complements the overall care plan for each resident.

Onsite Podiatric Services: Comprehensive Care Wherever Patients Are

We bring specialized care directly to residents, working onsite alongside nursing home staff and wound care teams. Our objective is early detection of foot conditions, enhancing comfort, and elevating the quality of life. 
Our services include, but are not limited to:

Diabetic Foot Care

Nail Infections

Orthopedic Care

Callouses

Ulcers

Pain Management

Fall Risk Assessment and Balance Braces

Diagnosing Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD)

By providing these services onsite, we eliminate the need for residents to travel to external clinics, which can be challenging and stressful for both the patients and the nursing home staff. Our podiatrists are equipped with the necessary tools and expertise to deliver top-notch care right where the patients are, ensuring convenience and continuity of care.

Our onsite presence allows for prompt intervention and treatment of any foot-related issues that may arise. We work hand in hand with the nursing staff to monitor patients' foot health, address any concerns quickly, and prevent minor issues from escalating into serious complications.

Beyond Treatment: Prevention and Comfort

We believe in a proactive approach – from routine toenail maintenance to advanced infection control. Specializing in diabetic foot care, custom inserts, and shoe fitting, we're equipped to handle all kinds of podiatric needs. Our expertise extends to preventing and healing pressure injuries through wound care, reinforcing the dual pillars of our practice – prevention through podiatric care and healing through wound management.

Prevention is a key focus of our podiatric services

We educate patients, families, and healthcare staff on proper foot care techniques, including daily foot inspections, proper hygiene, and the importance of wearing appropriate footwear. By empowering individuals with the knowledge and skills to maintain healthy feet, we aim to reduce the incidence of foot-related complications and improve overall quality of life.

We prioritize patient comfort

Many long-term care residents suffer from foot pain, which limits their mobility and impacts their daily activities. Our podiatrists employ various techniques to alleviate pain, including therapeutic footwear, custom orthotics, and non-invasive treatments. By addressing pain and discomfort, we help residents maintain their independence and participate in the activities they enjoy.

Comprehensively. Compassionately.

At WCC Ohio, we blend comprehensive care with compassion. Understanding the unique needs of our long-term care residents, we aim to provide services that not only treat but also enhance the overall well-being of our patients.

We recognize that every patient is unique, with their own set of challenges and goals. That's why we take a personalized approach to podiatric care, tailoring our treatments to meet the needs of every individual. Whether it's managing chronic conditions, preventing complications, or improving mobility, we work closely with patients and their families to develop a care plan that aligns with their wishes and enhances their quality of life.

Our compassionate team understands the emotional and psychological impact of foot problems on long-term care residents. We take the time to listen to our patients' concerns, answer their questions, and provide reassurance and support throughout the treatment process. We believe that compassion and empathy are crucial to delivering exceptional podiatric care.
