One Step Foot Care Inc

What One Step Foot Care Inc does

One Step Foot Care Inc is a privately held, Vernon, British Columbia-based healthcare services company founded in 2010 by Kaarina Schrott, an Advanced Foot Care Nurse (LPN, FCNed) with prior geriatric nursing experience since 2000. The company operates two related business lines. The first is mobile on-site foot care services delivered by licensed nurses to seniors residing in long-term care facilities, retirement residences, and care homes across the Okanagan Valley, with a recurring 6-8 week visit cadence covering nail trimming, corn and callus reduction, diabetic foot assessments, ingrown toenail treatment, and moisturizing care, priced at $40 per session with optional hand care and nail polish add-ons and partially covered by select insurers. The second is an Advanced Foot Care Training Course for licensed nurses (LPN, RPN, RN, NP), consisting of 110 hours of self-paced online theory and 43 hours of in-person clinical practicum in Kelowna, delivered under license from Foot Canada Training and priced at $3,675 CAD with multi-installment plans.

The business model blends professional services revenue (foot care sessions), one-time education tuition, and a small retail line of therapeutic diabetic socks sold at the point of service. Distribution is B2B field sales to facility administrators for care services, supplemented by self-serve online enrollment for the education product. The company self-describes as the largest provider of coordinated Nursing Foot Care in British Columbia, reporting 245,008+ cumulative clients, 39+ communities served, 19+ BC sites, and recognition via the Greater Vernon Business Awards, BEawards, and a Top 20 regional award. Customer concentration is spread across at least 11 named senior living operators and a regional health authority, with all service delivery confined to the Okanagan Valley while the education product is addressable nationally.

Operationally, the company is owner-led and small-scale, with 1-10 employees per firmographics, no external institutional funding, and no parent company. Marketing relies on organic social channels (LinkedIn, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube), two blog verticals, an email newsletter, and conference participation (CAFCN). Compliance is anchored to BCCNM nursing standards, Health Canada sterilization and infection control guidelines, and Interior Health policies, which together underpin the company's eligibility to operate inside institutional care settings.
