What to expect...

We will review a brief medical history, obtain an informed consent and discuss your foot care concerns and goals. The first 30 minute session includes cutting, filing, and thinning of the toenails. We will reduce any corn and calluses you may have and provide a foot and skin assessment. At the conclusion of your visit, we will make any recommendations we see necessary.

 Does it hurt?

Absolutely not! We are experienced with working with seniors and take a gentle approach to our work.

Will I bleed? 

Our bleed rate is less than 1%. We want you to come back after all.

I have neglected my feet for years & I am embarrassed? 

There is nothing to be ashamed of. This is what we are here for. We are here to help get you back to feeling good and walking without discomfort.

Do you provide care to diabetic patients?

Yes we do, all of the time. Individuals with a history of diabetes should most definitely seek a qualified foot care provider for regular visits to prevent the risk of infections.

Can you work on fungal and thick nails?

Yes, we can thin these down. This often gives client's immediate relief.

Can you tell me if my nails are fungal?

As nurses we cannot diagnose fungal nails.

Do you sterilize tools?

We use new sets of tools on each patient and all non-disposal tools are chemically sterilized before each use. We carry enough sets of tools that each client will have their own sterilized set.

Do you carry liability insurance?

Yes, we are a licensed business, carrying extensive liability insurance.

How much does your standard service cost?

Please contact us for current pricing and availability in your area.

Payment? 

NiaPath Mobile currently operates as a private-pay practice, with payment collected at the time of service. This streamlined approach allows us to provide convenient, personalized care while minimizing administrative burden for residents, families, and facility staff.

We are actively working toward insurance credentialing and anticipate offering insurance-based services in the future. As NiaPath Mobile grows, our goal is to expand access to care while maintaining the high level of personalized service our patients and community partners expect.

How do I make an appointment for myself, my parent or grandparent?

Please contact us to find a nearest location to schedule an appointment.

 What if I need to cancel or change my appointment?

Please call us as soon as you know & we will help accommodate you. We have a 24 hour no show/late cancellation policy. Fees may incur if cancelled within 24 hours of appointment time. No shows will be charge at the regular hourly rate.

Can you trim fingernails?

We will be glad to. Please inform us at the time of booking your appointment that you would like to add this service on.

Do I need to soak my feet before my service? 

No you do not.

Do you have an office? 

We do not. All services are provided at various senior centers, senior living facilities, and client's homes.

How are you different than a podiatrist? 

Podiatrists diagnose and treat conditions of the foot & ankle. Some podiatrist will perform routine foot care services such as nail trimming. This may be billed through insurance or it may be billed to you directly. We are here as an option for your foot care services. We will make recommendations for further medical attention if we encounter anything that is beyond our scope of practice. 

What does the podiatry industry think of foot care nurse industry?

As with any new industry some will embrace it & some will not. We are simply an option for you - the client, to choose who provides your foot care. We believe this is your right as a client to decide. You can go to a podiatrist AND utilize our services. It’s not in our nature to choose for you. Well-established podiatry groups embrace our services for taking the routine foot care burden off of them.

Do you make orthotics?

No, we do not.  

I get a pedicure at the nail salon is this safe?

We understand the relaxation a good pedicure can provide. Nail technicians are trained to relax and beautify. Some nail technicians have received extra training to provide services to the high risk client such as the seniors. Pedicures can be risky for the senior demographic. Thinning skin changes, medical conditions such as diabetes and poor circulation can put seniors at an increased risk of infection. We encourage you to do your own research into the salon you choose.

Do you polish nails?

No, we do not. As a medical based company, our focus is on the health & wellness of the feet. Nail polish can conceal and harbor bacteria.

I have polish on my toenails, will you remove this? 

Yes, we will remove all non-gel polish. We want to see your nail plate to examine the health of the nail.

I have gel polish on, can you provide a service to me?

We ask that before we arrive for any service, please visit a salon for removal of gel polish. We can cut your nails but we will not be able to file your nails with our E-file as the gel polish ruins the burrs we use. In addition, it takes too long for the removal of gel.
