Advanced Foot Care is provided by a nurse who has completed additional education with an in-depth focus on assessment of the foot and lower limb, as well as prevention and education for the client with diabetes to assist in preventing diabetic foot complications. A foot care nurse has also learned about sterilization and infection control procedures used in reprocessing instruments. If you have trouble seeing or reaching your feet, or have any nail or foot conditions, you would likely benefit from a visit with a foot care nurse.
In addition, A Step Above Foot Care offers a large selection of compression garments to suit your need. We work with your prescription or indication, and take all the measurements to fit the right product for you. We carry Sigvaris and ACHI brands to ensure we cover all the bases in terms of comfort, style and level of compression. Benefits of compression include improving athletic recovery, prevention of swelling, management of chronic venous disease, and improving wound healing. Compression is also great for travel, pregnancy, and prolonged standing.
Your foot care nurse will arrive at your home with nearly everything needed to provide care. We bring all supplies and instruments, a stool for the nurse, a leg rest and even a work surface!
You just need a comfortable chair for yourself during the visit, a well lit room and access to an electrical outlet. No need to try to cut your toenails, leave that to us and we promise no judgment! We do ask that polish is removed, as it can damage the instruments; the nurse can remove polish for a small fee.
Safety
To ensure safety of the nurse, please clear any obstacles on the path to your door, and allow for adequate lighting during evening visits. We love pets, but they can be tripping hazards for the nurse, and can sometimes make it difficult to provide clean, safe care, so we ask that pets be kept at a distance during care. If you smoke in your home, please refrain from smoking in your home a minimum of 2 hours prior to your appointment time.

At A Step Above Foot Care, we understand that things come up and even though you're so excited to see us, you may need to cancel or reschedule. That's okay!
