Reassuring Foot Health Care for Residents & Confidence for Providers

Can you relate to this?

Inconsistent Foot Health

Standards in Care Homes

Many care homes rely on ad hoc, unregulated foot health practitioners who may not follow consistent clinical, hygiene, or documentation standards — putting residents at risk and care providers out of step with CQC expectations.

Lack of Digital Record

Keeping and Compliance

Traditional foot care providers often operate with paper records or no records at all, leaving care homes with no auditable trail of visits, consent, or treatment plans — risking non-compliance during inspections.

Disruption from Unreliable

or Infrequent Services

Care homes often struggle with unreliable practitioners who cancel at short notice, attend infrequently, or only serve a small number of residents — disrupting continuity of care and leaving residents untreated.

Hidden Costs and

Ambiguous Billing

Care homes are frequently surprised by unclear pricing, unitemised invoices, or unexpected charges from foot care providers — making budgeting and cost recovery unnecessarily complex.

Welcome to WigglyToes®

every step smarter.

A little bit about us

Wiggly Toes is a UK-wide provider of professional foot healthcare services, working in partnership with care homes through contracted, recurring visits. We combine compassionate clinical care with smart technology—ensuring every patient interaction is logged, tracked, and compliant.

Our tech-enabled systems support digital note-taking, consent recording, and secure audit trails, helping care homes stay inspection-ready while delivering consistent, high-quality care to residents.

We exist to improve comfort, mobility, and wellbeing, while supporting care teams with a reliable, transparent service they can trust.

Care & Compliance

We understand the pressures care homes face in maintaining high standards of resident wellbeing and regulatory compliance. That’s why our service is built around clinical consistency, professional standards, and full digital traceability.

Our practitioners follow clear protocols, log every visit in real time, and ensure records are accessible, secure, and inspection-ready. From consent tracking to treatment history, everything is designed to support your CQC requirements, while prioritising the dignity and comfort of your residents.

Technology Enabled

Our service is powered by a secure, cloud-based system that ensures every visit is recorded accurately and efficiently. Practitioners use mobile devices to log notes, capture photos, track consent, and timestamp appointments in real time—eliminating paperwork and reducing admin for your staff.

With built-in audit trails, automated alerts, and central reporting, care homes benefit from full visibility and compliance oversight. Our digital-first approach means fewer errors, faster access to records, and a smarter way to deliver consistent, high-quality foot care at scale.

Peace of mind for all.
