Key statistics (Ontario / Canada)
Research on Ontario home-care clients found that about 50% of older adults receiving long-stay home care were considered “homebound.”
In Ontario overall, about 43% of seniors (65+) live with a disability, many involving mobility or flexibility limitations that make travel difficult.
Across Canada, mobility problems are one of the most common disabilities among seniors, affecting around 63% of older adults with disabilities.
What this means in practical terms
Health and aging experts often estimate that:
10–20% of seniors living in the community are effectively housebound or rarely leave home.
Among seniors already receiving home-care services, the percentage rises to about 50% who are homebound.
Why this matters for foot care
Many seniors who are homebound cannot easily
Travel to salons or clinics
Bend or safely reach their feet
Drive or access transportation
This creates a large unmet need for mobile services, including in-home foot care, manicures, and pedicures, especially for seniors aging at home.
Studies suggest that 10–20% of seniors living in the community are largely homebound, and up to half of seniors receiving home-care services rarely leave their homes. This creates a significant need for mobile wellness services that bring safe and comfortable care directly to them.
