One of the biggest, recurrent pains recently when it's come to looking for services, has been finding some help with foot and nail care, since issues with dexterity and coordination prevent me from doing it myself.
I've mostly relied on my mother for help, with some periodic assistance from homecare workers and a trip to a spa last Summer. But my family won't always be around, and homecare depends on the attendant and their availability, so I've been wanting something more regular.
A recent supports assessment pointed me to a website full of resources, which led me to a local footcare clinic, TiredSole. They offer the services I'm looking for, are cheaper than other businesses I've looked at, will do in-office or at-home appointments (great for Winter months), and are only about five-ten minutes away!
I had my first appointment yesterday, and they were really good. Nice place, friendly staff! I got my nails clipped and callouses from my orthotics buffed (with a power tool!). Next appointment is in about six weeks. In the meantime, homecare can at least keep my nails filed.
It's not quite perfect, but it's another great support to have, one that I've spent a long while searching for. It's also a load off my mind and, hopefully, my parent's as well.
Cheers!
