When it comes to foot care, it’s not just about trimming toenails or smoothing out calluses, it’s about comfort, safety, dignity, and independence.

At Sole Survivor Foot Care, I believe everyone deserves high-quality, accessible care, especially those who can’t always get to a clinic. That’s why I bring professional, mobile medical foot care directly to you. Whether you’re living at home, in assisted living, or somewhere in between, my goal is to make caring for your feet easy, safe, and stress-free.

Here’s a closer look at what makes Sole Survivor Foot Care truly different.

🦶 A Mobile Practice That Comes to You

One of the most unique things about Sole Survivor is that I’m fully mobile. I travel to homes and facilities across Fredericton North, Pepper Creek, Chipman, and surrounding areas, bringing everything needed for safe, sterile, professional foot care.

For many clients, traveling to a clinic isn’t always possible. Limited mobility, lack of transportation, and chronic health conditions are barriers for many older adults. In fact, community-based care has been shown to reduce hospitalizations and improve outcomes for seniors aging in place.¹

💙 Compassionate, Client-Centered Care

As an LPN with a background in geriatrics and community health, I’ve seen the impact that foot health has on quality of life. Foot pain can reduce mobility, lead to falls, and make everyday tasks more difficult, especially for seniors and people with diabetes.²

My philosophy is simple: compassionate, competent, individualized care, every time. I take the time to assess, listen, and treat every client with dignity and professionalism. Each visit includes:

A full foot assessment
Safe, sterile treatment
Time for education and questions
Recommendations tailored to your lifestyle and health needs

Client-centered care, where the person’s values, preferences, and needs guide clinical decisions, is a key principle in best practice nursing and foot care delivery.³

🧼 Professional Standards & Safety

I follow Medical Device Reprocessing (MDR) standards for instrument cleaning and sterilization, including the use of autoclaves. Proper sterilization isn’t just good practice, it’s essential to preventing the spread of infection, especially in clients with vulnerable immune systems or open skin.⁴

You can feel confident knowing your care is not only kind, but clinically sound and held to the highest standards of infection control.

📝 A Personalized Experience

Each client receives a full foot health assessment at every visit, not just a nail trim. This helps me monitor for:

Circulatory or neurological changes
Signs of pressure injuries, ulcers, or infections
Skin integrity issues
Changes in nail health

Regular monitoring allows for early detection and intervention, which is especially important for older adults and those living with chronic conditions like diabetes.⁵

🛑 No Clinics. No Waiting Rooms. Just Care.

Choosing Sole Survivor means choosing:

One-on-one attention
Flexible scheduling
In-home comfort
An LPN who genuinely cares

I built this practice to slow things down, meet people where they are, and provide ethical, client-centered foot care with respect and professionalism. Because foot care isn’t just about feet, it’s about your health, mobility, and quality of life.
