How we work
An amenity residents can look forward to.
For many assisted living residents, a manicure is as much a social occasion as a grooming task. A common-area nail day can sit on the activity calendar like any other event, with residents signing up ahead of time.
Residents who prefer privacy, or who find it hard to get to a common area, can be seen in their own apartment instead. Either way, the same technician comes on the same day each rotation, so the visit becomes familiar.
Sign-ups, billing and the resident list are agreed with your community before the first visit. Anything that looks like it needs clinical attention is passed to your nursing or wellness staff.
Nail visits can also run alongside your community’s beauty salon, so residents can book hair and nails on the same day. See nail salon services for senior living.

Safety and sanitation
Salon licensing standards, practiced in the resident's room.
Infection control is often the first question nursing staff ask. Here is how our technicians will work.
Disinfection between every resident
Reusable implements are cleaned and disinfected in an EPA-registered disinfectant that is tuberculocidal and effective against HIV and Hepatitis B, then stored in a clean closed container.
Single-use where it matters
Files, buffers and wooden sticks are used once and discarded. Nothing porous moves from one resident to the next.
Waterless when appropriate
No shared basins or soaking tubs for at-risk residents. Care is delivered dry or with single-use liners.
We stay in our lane
We are licensed nail technicians, not medical providers. We don't treat wounds, infections or nail disease. Anything of concern goes to your nursing staff or the resident's podiatrist.
