Yours and our safety is our priority
At Sweet Feet, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. We take pride in our state-of-the-art “Clean Room,” where all foot care procedures are conducted in strict compliance with Alberta Health Services (AHS) protocols. Regular inspections by health inspectors ensure that we meet and exceed the highest standards for hygiene and safety. You should never hesitate to ask about the cleaning processes for the tools used during your foot care; transparency is key to building trust and ensuring a safe environment.
Our best practices for instrument reprocessing are rigorous. All foot care instruments, classified as critical, are meticulously cleaned and sterilized using autoclave technology in our regularly inspected reprocessing room. To further eliminate the risk of cross-contamination, we ensure that all surfaces and treatment areas are thoroughly cleaned and disinfected between clients. Additionally, we adhere to all mandated regulations for Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), reinforcing our commitment to maintaining a safe and clean space for both clients and staff. We genuinely care about how we provide care, and these protocols reflect our dedication to your health and safety.
What is Advanced Foot Care?
Advanced foot care involves the specialized assessment, treatment, and prevention of foot-related issues, particularly for individuals with underlying health conditions like diabetes or circulatory disorders. This type of care is crucial because many patients may not recognize the importance of foot health, which can lead to serious complications such as infections, ulcers, or even amputations. For a nurse, providing advanced foot care means not only addressing these conditions but also educating patients about proper foot hygiene and self-care techniques. By offering this specialized care, nurses play a vital role in improving patients’ quality of life, promoting mobility, and preventing health complications that can significantly impact overall well-being.
Who needs Advanced Foot Care?
- Individuals with Diabetes: Increased risk of foot ulcers and infections due to poor circulation and nerve damage.
- Elderly Patients: Age-related changes can lead to various foot problems, including decreased mobility and increased susceptibility to injuries.
- People with Circulatory Issues: Conditions such as peripheral artery disease can impair blood flow, making proper foot care essential.
- Those with History of Foot Problems: Previous issues like bunions, ingrown nails, or fungal infections require ongoing care to prevent recurrence.
- Athletes and Active Individuals: Regular foot assessments can help prevent injuries and manage conditions like plantar fasciitis or stress fractures.
- Patients with Limited Mobility: Difficulty in performing self-care can necessitate professional foot care services to maintain healthy feet.
