## Foot care in Borehamwood, in your own home
Borehamwood grew quickly in the post-war decades, and much of its housing dates from that period: terraces and semis around Cowley Hill and Furzehill, low-rise flats and maisonettes, sheltered schemes, and a steady layer of newer apartment blocks near the station and along Shenley Road. Elstree, immediately to the south, adds older village housing and larger detached property.

The town's older residents are concentrated in exactly the housing that makes attending a clinic difficult: upstairs flats with communal stairs, maisonettes with external steps, and terraces with a step or two up from the pavement. Add a busy high street with limited parking and the result is the same as elsewhere in the county: foot care that slips from regular to occasional to none.

Nse Murray treats at home throughout Borehamwood and Elstree. Qualified Foot Health Practitioner, over 20 years of nursing experience, fully insured with Balens Ltd, with sterile instruments and everything else needed brought to the property.

## Why Borehamwood households choose Alicegate

### Qualified and insured
Qualified Foot Health Practitioner, over 20 years of nursing experience, fully insured with Balens Ltd.

## Foot problems we see most often in Borehamwood

### Communal stairs in flats and maisonettes
Much of the town's older housing is reached by shared stairs. Painful heels, corns on the ball of the foot and long or thickened nails all make that descent slower and less steady, and it is where residents lose confidence first.

### Post-war housing with small, cold bathrooms
Original 1950s and 1960s bathrooms are often cold and awkward to sit in, which is one reason self-care of feet quietly stops. Treatment at home in a comfortable chair removes that barrier entirely.

### Hard pavements and a long high street
Shenley Road and the surrounding shopping streets involve a lot of walking on hard, flat surfaces. Sustained loading of the forefoot builds callus and corns, and altered gait to protect a sore spot then produces problems elsewhere on the foot.

### Damp winters and heel fissures
The same seasonal contrast as the rest of Hertfordshire: damp outside, dry heating inside, split heels by February. Cracked Heels treatment removes hardened skin and applies urea-based moisturising creams to restore smoothness.

## How a visit to your Borehamwood home works

- Step 1

### Call or request a visit
Tell Nse what is troubling you. She rings back to agree a date, a time and who else should be there.

- Step 2

### Assessment at home
History, medication, circulation, sensation and skin condition are checked before anything is treated.

- Step 3

### Treatment the same visit
Nails, corns, callus, fissures or dressings are dealt with on the day using sterile instruments brought to the house.

- Step 4

### Findings explained
You and any family member present hear exactly what was found, what was done and what to watch for.

- Step 5

### Review agreed
Most clients are reviewed every six to eight weeks, with anything needing a GP or district nurse flagged clearly.

## The work most often needed in Borehamwood
Hard corns and calluses at one hour from £75.00 are the most frequent presenting complaint, reducing pain and restoring comfort and leaving feet smooth and healthy. Cracked heels at one hour from £75.00 are close behind, particularly through the winter months.

Routine foot care, one hour from £80.00, combines nail cutting, filing and corn and callus removal in a single appointment and is the option most households settle into. Where only nails need attention, Nail Cutting and Filing Only is 30 minutes from £65.00, and is particularly important for diabetic individuals to prevent infection.

For anyone who wants a fuller treatment, Relaxing Spa &amp; Aesthetic Foot Treatment with Peels is 120 minutes from £150.00, combining clinical expertise with restorative care of the skin. Diabetic Foot Assessment remains one hour from £85.00.

## Borehamwood, Elstree and the county border
Coverage includes Elstree, Well End and the roads toward Shenley and Radlett, so households on the southern edge of Hertfordshire are inside the covered area rather than on its boundary.

Many first enquiries here come from adult children arranging care for a parent, often alongside other support already in place. Nse will explain her findings to whoever coordinates that care and set the review interval with them, and will refer back to a GP or district nurse where that is the right step rather than continuing to treat.

Payment is by cash or bank transfer, soon after treatment, with no travel charge in Borehamwood or Elstree.
