Comfortable, Professional Support to Keep You Moving Safely
Healthy feet make everyday life easier. Compassion Home Care Services provides gentle, professional foot care at home in Calgary to maintain comfort, reduce risk of skin issues, and support safe mobility—especially for seniors and adults managing circulation, arthritis, or diabetes. Visits are calm, unhurried, and tailored to your preferences and sensitivity level.
We also proudly serve Airdrie, Chestermere, Okotoks, and Edmonton.
What Is Foot Care At Home?
Foot care at home includes routine, non-invasive care that keeps feet clean, comfortable, and safe—such as careful nail trimming and filing, moisturizing, inspection of skin integrity, and education on footwear and daily routines. Our goal isn’t cosmetic “spa” results; it’s long-term comfort and prevention: spotting concerns early, easing pressure points, and making walking safer and less painful.
When clinical needs are identified (e.g., concerning wounds or rapidly changing swelling), we can involve Nursing Services and coordinate with your physician or podiatrist as appropriate.
Who We Help
- Seniors with thickened nails, dry skin, or difficulty reaching their feet safely.
- Adults with diabetes or circulation concerns who benefit from regular foot checks and pressure-point prevention.
- Clients with arthritis or limited mobility who need support for safe nail care and footwear setup.
- Post-hospital clients transitioning back to daily routines who want comfort and stability underfoot.
- Family caregivers who prefer a trained professional to manage recurring foot care tasks on a schedule.
Foot Care Home Care Services We Offer
- Gentle nail care: Careful trimming and filing to a comfortable length and shape, avoiding sharp edges that can snag or irritate.

- Callus & pressure-point management (non-invasive): Light reduction with safe techniques and pressure off-loading strategies; escalation to Nursing or podiatry if advanced care is indicated.
- Foot checks & monitoring: Observation for redness, swelling, blisters, hot spots, changes in toenails, or signs that warrant clinical review.
- Footwear & sock guidance: Fit tips, seam and fabric considerations, and daily habits to reduce rubbing and moisture build-up.
- Education & routines: Simple home stretches, daily inspection techniques, drying practices after showering, and when to seek medical input.
- Coordination with care plan: Aligning foot care with Personal Care, Housekeeping Services (laundry/linens), and Nursing Services where needed.
Popular bundles: Foot Care + Personal Care (bathing/ADLs) + Housekeeping Services (laundry, linens) for comfort and safety from heel to head.
Benefits of Regular Foot Care at Home
- Comfort and confidence: Less soreness and snagging, easier shoe wear, and more enjoyable walks.
- Lower risk of issues: Early detection of hot spots, skin breakdown, or nail concerns helps prevent complications.
- Safer mobility: Better footing reduces slip and trip risk; socks and shoes are matched to your needs.
- Energy for what matters: When feet feel good, clients are more willing to move, exercise lightly, and participate in daily life.
- Peace of mind for families: A trained professional is checking feet regularly and sharing clear updates.
Our Calgary Care Process
Assessment & Care Plan
A Calgary-based coordinator reviews health history, skin sensitivity, circulation concerns, footwear, and home setup (seating, lighting). We recommend visit length and cadence (often every 4–8 weeks) and note any precautions (e.g., diabetes care considerations, anticoagulants).
Caregiver Match & Start of Care
We match you with a trained professional comfortable with gentle foot care, respectful communication, and unhurried pacing. Start-of-care includes a baseline foot check and comfort preferences (water temperature, lotion type, sensitivity zones).
Ongoing Monitoring & Adjustments
We document changes over time—dry skin improvement, pressure areas, or new concerns—and adjust routines. When red flags appear, we loop in Nursing Services and, with permission, your healthcare team.

We’re based in Calgary and also serve Airdrie, Chestermere, Okotoks, and Edmonton. If you live just outside these areas, contact us—if we can’t help directly, we’ll point you to trusted local options.
How Often Should Foot Care Home Visits Be?
- General maintenance: Every 6–8 weeks for nail care, moisturizing, and inspection.
- Higher-risk clients (e.g., diabetes, fragile skin): Every 4–6 weeks with closer monitoring.
- Short-term comfort boost: A focused session after illness, hospitalization, or seasonal skin changes.
Your coordinator will suggest a cadence based on circulation, skin condition, and mobility.
