Your safety, and the safety of our staff is our number 1 priority

Until May 23rd  only conducting home visits. On May 23rd we will be reopening our Greenfield Clinic. Please call for details. 


We are considered to be an essential nursing service as treatable foot pain, or an ingrown nail should not be a reason to leave personal quarantine. We accept private pay and continue to take referrals from the case managers at the Aging Service Access Points that we contract with (LifePath, Elder Services of Berkshire County, Greater Springfield Senior Services, Montachusetts Home Care, Highland Valley Elder Care and West Mass Elder Care). We follow the HHA and CDC guidelines,  because your safety is our number 1 priority.

Did you know that nurses are the #1 most trusted profession?

Feet are what people need to get about. They are also what keep us rooted to the ground. Even in a less than optimal health state, foot health contributes to overall health.  At FootCare by Nurses we believe that everyone deserves great foot care. 

Our nurses use evidence, nursing knowledge and a person-centered approach to enhance foot function, mobility, balance and support overall health.  You do not need a medical referral for our services, just an appointment. 

FootCare by Nurses offers flexible contract staffing solutions to any professional organizations from podiatry offices to wound care clinics or any practice that values feet.  We welcome inquiries from anyone – individuals, Councils on Aging, Aging Service Access Points, Home Health Agencies, and Assisted Living Residences and anyone who need nurses to provide great, evidence-based compassionate foot care to their clients.

A short movie about why we do what we do. 

Where you can find our service

FootCare by Nurses offers person-centered foot care in the home and also in regularly scheduled clinics, and our office at 63 French King hwy #7 in Greenfield MA.  Our nurses can also be found at senior centers, councils on aging, in town halls and in assisted living centers. Our services are available through some Aging Services Access Points (ASAPS) such as LifePath and WestMass Elder Care (WMEC) and also at Allen’s in Leominster. As well as being the foot care nurse at many area clinics, our nurses come can come directly to your home. This service is of course offered to everyone, but we find our homebound patients benefit from this most often.

New Foot Care Nurse Training

We train nurses to be foot care nurses. We provide hands-on precepting opportunities in a variety of settings for both the American Association of Foot Care Nurses (AAFCN), CFCS certification and the Wound Ostomy Continence Nurses Society (WOCN), CFCN certification.

Education and Speaking

It is our feet, not our faces,  that walk us through life. Feet our our roots. At FootCare by Nurses, we believe that knowledge is power.  Feet that are well cared for do not have bunions, corns, wounds or calluses and should not be painful or swollen. Your foot health should also not be a reason to have a wound or fall. We are happy to come and talk to your organization, nurses, caregivers, soccer teams, school groups, nursing students, medical students, senior groups, running groups or any organization that is curious,  and values foot health.
