Do you have any recommendations for someone to come to the house to help my mom with her feet? (exfoliate the dry skin, trim her nails, etc.)

I was told by Moms Poditrist to have her drink more water.

I would order Avon for an elderly lady friend. She loved Avons Moisturizing handcream (white and blue tube). Not for her hands but her feet. So I tried it on the rough spots on my feet. I rubbed it on and then put on my socks. I saw a difference in a couple of days. Bought my husband a washcloth where one side has an exfoliating side so I used that to get the dry stuff off. Worked.

I think Geaton has a great plan.

I used to work Elder Care and my client was pretty much banned from all the local nail salons as she was quite difficult to deal with.

I brought my own foot 'spa' to work one day, sat her down, put on some soft music and had her soak her feet for about 1/2 hour in very warm water and epsom salts (those toenails in the very elderly are almost impossible to trim when dry!!)

Then I scrubbed and scrubbed away the old dry skin, trimmed her nails (get a nail trimmer--sideways cut rather than straight on) and gently trimmed her nails. Cut them short, but not to the nail bed. Filed (and filed and filed, should have brought hubby's Dremel!) and then finally painted them a glorious red. Slathered on lotion and she was in heaven!

By no means did they look 'good' but they looked 'good enough' and she was thrilled.

By painting them, I could look at her feet and see how much growth we had going on.

It's easier to keep up than to catch up. I would have her soak her feet every week and we'd just do a light massage which she adored. Lots of lotion!

And yes, we went to the podiatrist, but all he did was hack off the toenails and send us on our way.

I didn't have much luck finding this for my MIL a few years ago. I suggest the OP search "mobile spa services+(your zip code)". If you do find a reputable service, make sure they know it's for a senior and that they will need to come into your house. If you don't have luck, I would walk into any spa and talk directly to one of the pedicure technicians, let them know your dilemma, ask if they know anyone who'd be willing to do it for cash in your home. Go onto Nextdoor.com to see if a willing local neighbor has these skills and tools. The LTCF my MIL is in won't allow any outside service to come in to perform do this sort of thing. Drives me nuts because the "podiatrists" don't do much except trim nails. They don't even file them.

Here in Canada we have Foot Care Nurses, as well as Podiatrists. I arranged for a FCN to look after Dad’s feet. He was resistant at first, but loves it now. She spends about 20 minutes with him, trims his nails, sands callouses and rubs on lotion, and it costs $40. If she sees anything concerning, she will refer him to a Podiatrist.

Medicare pays for a Podiatrist every 10 weeks. Call around, see if one will do a house call. Moms dr did once she was in the AL and later the LTC.
