Interesting question I am in Oregon too. I can get the “bath lady” to cut my wife’s fingernails (she digs herself and gets sores ) but I have been told they are not allowed to cut toenails. I just can not figure out the logic behind that.

Ive gotten pretty good at cutting my mother's wonky toenails although she needs to see her podiatrist. Even though he stopped taking her Humana medicare he only charged $40 to cut them. Maybe try checking a couple Podiatrists and ask if they have a discount for paying cash.

Some senior centers may have info about this or your local Area Agency on Aging. If your LO is remotely able to step up to a pedicure platform, you can still consider this. We took my 100-yr old Aunt with advanced dementia for pedicures and she loved it. The staff was very understanding of her lack of filter and her behaviors.

In Canada, but there are foot nurses who come to the house to do that. It costs about $60 per visit.

Look up podiatrist online. For a senior you are not looking for salon care. You want someone skilled. Medicare pays for nail care.

I agree, Alva. A senior definitely needs someone with the skills of working with the feet of an elder who may have circulation issues, diabetes, thinning skin, etc.
