Recently, many elderly people living in Fengjing Town have found that the staff of Xinqihang Huimin Service Co., Ltd. will also provide convenient services such as blood pressure measurement and haircut after cutting their feet. This is because Fengjing Town's "Foot Cutting" service has been upgraded to "Foot Care" service, and the staff will provide free door-to-door services such as foot cutting, blood pressure measurement, blood sugar measurement, haircut, and psychological counseling for the elderly over 90 years old, so as to continuously improve the sense of gain and happiness of the elderly.
In the morning, the staff came to the home of Wu Zhonggao and Chen Meifang in Guijing Village, Fengjing Town, to give the elderly haircuts, blood pressure measurements, blood sugar measurements, and foot cutting. Wu Zhonggao, 92 years old this year, told reporters that the staff originally only came to the door to cut feet, but recently added services such as blood pressure measurement, blood sugar measurement, and haircuts, and told him, who has high blood pressure, to take medicine on time and pay attention to his diet.

I also have a good blood pressure, and if my hair is long, I have to get a haircut, and I also wash my feet and cut my toenails, and the service is very good.
The reporter learned that Fengjing Town's "Foot Picking" service has been carried out since 2018, mainly serving the elderly in the town's elderly care institutions at the beginning, and from 2022, the service objects have covered the elderly over 90 years old in the town. With age, the metabolism of the stratum corneum of human nails slows down, which will lead to thickening of foot nails, causing many inconveniences such as wearing shoes and walking in the elderly. In addition, there are some elderly people suffering from nail fungus, which is difficult to trim with ordinary nail clippers, and improper blind pruning may cause infection, so the door-to-door foot service has always been particularly popular with the elderly.

If you cut your toenails by yourself, they will be bloody, and you can't see with your eyes, and sometimes you will get all the way to the flesh. Now that they're here, I'm so happy.
According to statistics, there are 450 elderly people over the age of 90 in Fengjing Town, and since the beginning of this year, the Heart Qihang Huimin Service Cooperatives has provided 1,214 people with "Foot Care" services for the elderly who meet the requirements.

We maintain the frequency of once a month, as long as the elderly have needs, for example, I have a beard, can you come again, then we can also increase it, basically to meet the needs of the elderly.
