For senior living and care communities

A nail-care program your residents can access—and your team can trust.

Core Nail Wellness partners with senior living and care communities to provide scheduled, licensed nail services on location. Our model combines resident-centered service with defined screening, consent, infection prevention, documentation, communication, and quality-review practices.

Serving select communities across a phased seven-county Southeastern North Carolina territory.

Routine nail care is simple—until access is not.

For many residents, leaving the community for a conventional salon requires transportation, staff coordination, family availability, physical effort, and additional risk.

Facilities may also struggle to find providers who understand resident consent, cognitive impairment, fragile skin, service refusal, communication boundaries, documentation, and the difference between cosmetic nail care and medical foot care. CNW was built specifically for this environment.

i.

Resident access

Licensed services are brought into the participating community through scheduled appointments.

ii.

Operational structure

The facility and CNW establish clear contacts, schedules, responsibilities, readiness requirements, and communication pathways.

iii.

Professional accountability

Services are supported by documented procedures, training requirements, records, quality reviews, complaint response, and corrective-action processes.

How we operate

The CNW partnership framework

Six commitments that define how CNW works inside your community.

01

Resident dignity & consent

Residents are greeted respectfully, told what to expect, and given the opportunity to accept, decline, pause, or stop.

Where a resident cannot independently provide legally sufficient authorization, the required representative or facility process must be completed before service.

Consent is ongoing—not a one-time signature that overrides the resident’s present wishes.

02

Service eligibility & scope

CNW screens the service area before beginning. Services may be modified, deferred, stopped, or declined when a concern is outside CNW’s scope, when consent is absent, or when the resident or environment cannot support safe service.

CNW does not provide medical treatment, podiatry, wound care, or diagnosis.

03

Infection prevention

CNW uses hand hygiene, prepared supplies, single-use item controls, implement cleaning and disinfection, clean-storage separation, surface disinfection, appropriate PPE, and blood-exposure response procedures.

Disinfectants are used according to manufacturer instructions and applicable requirements.

04

Documentation & communication

CNW records services, refusals, relevant observations, incidents, and required follow-up.

Information is shared only through authorized pathways and only to the extent reasonably necessary for service coordination, resident safety, billing, legal compliance, or the applicable agreement.

05

Reliable operations

Before launch, CNW and the facility confirm:

  • designated contacts
  • access and check-in requirements
  • approved service space
  • visit schedule
  • resident appointment process
  • consent readiness
  • payment responsibility
  • outbreak or quarantine procedures
  • emergency contacts
  • first-visit readiness
06

Quality & follow-through

CNW uses structured review, complaint resolution, incident response, corrective action, training, and quality-assurance processes to support consistency, accountability, and continuous improvement.

On-site logistics

Service delivery options

We deliver care through the model that best fits each resident and your operations.

Station

Wellness Station

Residents receive scheduled services in an approved shared service area within the community. This model supports efficient scheduling when residents can safely travel to the service location.

Rounds

Wellness Rounds

Services are provided in a resident’s room or another approved location when mobility, comfort, facility operations, or resident needs make a shared station unsuitable. Availability is subject to space, privacy, infection-prevention, safety, equipment, and staffing considerations.

Both

Combined model

A facility may use both delivery methods based on resident needs and operational readiness.

Who funds the service

Payment models

Payment responsibility is chosen separately from visit frequency.

Access

Community Access Plan

Residents or authorized payers purchase services directly from CNW. The facility provides approved access, a designated contact, scheduling coordination, and a suitable service location.

Support

Wellness Support Plan

The facility contributes an agreed amount toward each eligible service. The resident or authorized payer pays the remaining balance.

Sponsor

Sponsored Care Plan

The facility, sponsoring organization, grant program, or other approved payer purchases services under agreed authorization, scheduling, and billing terms.

Full descriptions and resident pricing appear on Pricing & Partnership Options.

Onboarding

Getting started

A clear, low-pressure path from first conversation to first visit.

1

Consultation

We learn about the community, resident population, existing needs, scheduling goals, and current service gaps.

2

Program review

We assess service fit, delivery model, resident-readiness process, payment model, visit schedule, and facility responsibilities.

3

Written proposal & agreement

CNW provides a written program recommendation with applicable pricing, minimums, terms, and launch requirements.

4

Pre-launch readiness

Contacts, space, consent, scheduling, communications, supplies, access procedures, and the first resident list are confirmed.

5

First visit & follow-up

The initial service day is completed, documented, reviewed, and followed by a defined stabilization period.

Our method

A controlled dry-technique option

The Core Precision Dry Pedicure does not use a traditional water soak. This format supports portable service delivery, controlled product use, detailed nail maintenance, and a streamlined setup.

It does not expand CNW’s legal scope and is not a medical pedicure.

Included at no cost

The Comfort Corner comes with every engagement

Each placement includes a complimentary Comfort Corner: a clean, non-clinical set of activity items in an approved common area — a welcoming place for residents to wait before, during, and after their service. Offered as the compact Comfort Caddy or the expanded Full Comfort Corner.

Placed only after facility approval, maintained under CNW’s two-bin infection-prevention model, and inspected at every visit. It is a waiting amenity, not a clinical service or supervised program — resident supervision remains with the facility.

Let’s talk

Let’s determine whether CNW is the right fit for your community.

A consultation is exploratory. It allows both parties to evaluate resident needs, operational readiness, service expectations, and partnership fit before making a commitment.
