No, old people don't normally get free chiropody although sometimes they can find reduced price chiropody when a group can get together to get their feet done.  A group like Age UK might be able to organise this.  I found this particularly unhelpful when my MIL was in hospital and recovering and getting help with walking again after a fall and broken ankle.  Comfortable feet are rather an important part of this but I found it impossible to get it done by the hospital - or find someone to go the hospital!

One of the biggest problems is the lack of care provision, care workers and the time that care packages can take to be written. People end up in hospital for longer than is necessary.
