About this event
*$5-$10 sliding scale fee for all non-memners
As we age, our feet undergo significant changes that can impact mobility, comfort, and overall health. The American Geriatrics Society notes that one-third of seniors experience foot problems due to natural aging processes, such as thinning fat pads, stiff joints, and changes in foot shape. Common conditions like bunions, hammertoes, corns, calluses, infections, and arthritis can further complicate foot health, especially for those with diabetes or circulation issues. Proper foot care—including regular inspections, appropriate footwear, professional foot care, and exercise—can help prevent complications and maintain mobility. Prioritizing foot health is essential for overall well-being in older adults.
Presenter, Bonnie Ackles, RN, CFCS, is a board-certified Foot Care Specialist with 55+ years of nursing experience. She runs a private foot care practice serving seniors, Veterans, and at-risk individuals in north King and south Snohomish counties. As a representative of the American Foot Care Nurses Association, she educates communities and healthcare professionals on foot health, advocates for Foot Care Nursing, and mentors fellow nurses.
