It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Anyway , some podiatrists will come to the home if you can’t get the elder to the office .
If your elder is in a facility , podiatrist comes there and you can ask the nurse to put your elder on the list to be seen regularly for nail trimmings as allowed per Medicare schedule .
I've seen many an older man or woman with thick unruly(I'm trying to be polite)nails at the many nail salons I've gone to over the years getting their nails taken care of. They are used to dealing with these issues.
Otherwise like waytomisery said below, you can take her to a podiatrist, though I'm sure your loved one would much rather get a nice pedicure and leg massage at the salon, then just sit in a doctors office. Well at least that would be my choice.
Consider seeing a podiatrist and getting their advice. Best of luck.
When mom started going, she was like I'm sorry you have another appointment to go to.
That's one appointment I never complained about, even in my head, because I really know how important they are.
A lot of them make housecalls.

That being said, my then 100-yr old Aunt (with dementia but no other health problems) could still get up into a pedicure chair at the salon with a little help and enjoyed the pampering. We always took her to the same salon and asked for the same nail tech.
I would not allow a nail tech in the nail salon to cut a 100 year old's toenails. Pampering her and maybe painting her nails is fine, but not doing actual clipping and cutting.
If there aren't any in your area, is there a senior center? Senior centers usually offer footcare clinics with a podiatrist several times a year.
If you do find a person that would do a pedicure in the home they should ask what medical conditions your LO has. Anyone with Diabetes is at risk for problems if they are cut.
Depending on how mobile they are, other conditions any salon could do a pedicure if you can get them to the salon but I would say anyone with mobility problems, dementia probably would not be a candidate for a salon pedicure.
It may cost a bit more but it would be worth it because you do not want your senior to get an infection from an ingrown toenail or something like that.
Prevention!
my local one does twice a month.
i dont think medicare offers coverage that often but twice a month offers availability, and schedules are usually full all the time.
Frankly I would not trust salon people who are not medically trained at all.
We had 1 dedicated caregiver to trim the nails.
