Yaquelin Tamayo

I am certified in Advanced Foot Care and possess strong clinical expertise in diabetic foot care, nail and skin conditions, and the early identification of foot-related risks. My broad nursing background includes comprehensive health assessments, wound management, medication administration, and individualized care planning. This foundation allows me to deliver foot care using a holistic, preventive, and evidence-based approach. Infection prevention, gentle technique, and patient safety are central to all aspects of my practice.

In addition to my role as a Foot Care RPN, I work in a retirement home providing leadership and hands-on care for residents with early to mid-stage dementia. This experience has strengthened my ability to manage complex conditions, communicate effectively with families, and collaborate closely with interdisciplinary healthcare teams. I also have extensive community nursing experience, providing in-home geriatric and palliative care to support clients in remaining safe and comfortable in their own homes.

My foot care services include comprehensive foot assessments; routine and complex nail care; corn and callus reduction; non-surgical management of ingrown toenails; care for dry or cracked skin; and ongoing monitoring for signs of infection, pressure injury, or impaired circulation. I place strong emphasis on client education, preventive care, and timely referrals when additional medical attention is required.

I am known for my calm, respectful, and compassionate approach, and I am committed to helping clients maintain healthy feet, preserve mobility, and improve their overall quality of life.
