Longevity Foot Care is a nurse-led foot care practice, education provider and professional resource based in Duncan, British Columbia. Our nursing team provides skilled, compassionate foot care across Vancouver Island communities from Victoria to Nanaimo, while also supporting the practitioners who care for them through education, clinical supplies and trusted sterilization services.
These are not separate parts of our business. They are connected by one purpose: to strengthen the quality, safety and accessibility of foot care.
Longevity Foot Care was founded by Chrystal Stevens in 2016 as a community nursing foot care service. What began with a commitment to providing gentle, clinically sound care has grown into a multi-nurse practice serving clients from Victoria to Nanaimo—in our Duncan clinic, private homes, long-term care, community living and other care settings.
As the practice developed, so did the vision for Longevity. Providing excellent care requires more than technical skill at the treatment chair. It depends on current education, sound clinical judgment, safe systems, reliable equipment and supplies, thoughtful referral, and a professional community that is willing to keep learning.
Longevity grew to support those needs. Today, our work includes direct client care, advanced and continuing foot care education, professional foot care supplies, and medical-grade instrument sterilization for nurses and clinics.
Our nurses provide personalized foot care in clinic, at home and in facility settings. We care for routine and complex foot concerns with an emphasis on comfort, dignity, careful assessment and client education. When a concern requires care beyond our role, we recognize the need for referral and advocate for the client’s next step.
Longevity provides foundational and continuing education for nurses and other eligible foot care professionals. Our teaching is practical, thorough and grounded in real clinical work. We focus not only on what to do, but on how to assess, adapt and make safe decisions when a real person does not fit a textbook example.
Our professional products are selected through the lens of active clinical practice. We aim to make it easier for practitioners to access dependable instruments, infection-prevention supplies, offloading materials and specialized foot care products that support safe, effective work.
Our medical-grade autoclave sterilization service supports foot care nurses and clinics that need a reliable instrument-reprocessing solution. Careful handling, appropriate monitoring and properly packaged sterile instruments are part of the client-safety standard we believe the profession deserves.
Foot care practice continues to evolve. Ongoing education is not an extra at Longevity; it is part of our responsibility. We continue to study, question, update and refine how we work so that our care and teaching reflect current knowledge and stronger clinical practice.
Every client, foot and clinical situation is different. Assessment, infection prevention, documentation, informed decision-making and appropriate referral guide our work. Familiar habits never replace careful observation and professional judgment.
We are curious about better solutions, particularly when conventional approaches have not met a client’s needs. Innovation does not mean using something simply because it is new. It means thoughtfully applying well-supported products, techniques and adaptations to improve comfort, function and safety.
We believe stronger practitioners contribute to stronger care across the community. Through education, mentorship and professional connection, Longevity supports nurses and other foot care practitioners as they build skill, confidence and sound clinical judgment. Our broader commitment to collaboration within the profession is explored further through our professional articles and nurse education community.
Chrystal is a Licensed Practical Nurse, Advanced Foot Care Nurse, educator and founder of Longevity Foot Care. She has practised as an LPN since 2006 and has owned and operated Longevity Foot Care since 2016.
Chrystal is energetic, highly detail-oriented and a natural researcher. When something affects the quality of foot care, she wants to understand how it works—not only at the surface, but all the way through. Her interests reach across clinical care, biomechanics and offloading, nail correction, infection prevention, sterilization, product sourcing, teaching, business systems and even the mechanics of the instruments themselves.
One particularly fitting example is her decision to travel to Clipper Shack in Jacobsburg, Ohio, near Wheeling, West Virginia, for specialized training in podiatry nipper sharpening and repair. It may seem like a small corner of the field, but it reflects how Chrystal approaches her work: follow the question, learn how the pieces fit together and bring that understanding back into safer care, better systems and more practical teaching.
That ambitious curiosity is part of why Longevity has never remained only one kind of business.
Chrystal is inclined to see the connections between a client’s experience, a nurse’s technique, the material or instrument in their hand, the systems surrounding the care and the education that brings it all together.
She remains actively involved in client care while developing courses, mentoring nurses and continually refining the systems that support safe, sustainable foot care practice. Her teaching is shaped by the realities of clinical work: complex feet, individual client needs, evolving evidence, imperfect products and the practical decisions practitioners make every day.
Chrystal is a Licensed Education Provider with Foot Canada Training and serves as the British Columbia representative for the Canadian Association of Foot Care Nurses for 2025–2026. Her work brings together clinical care, professional education, business experience and a longstanding commitment to helping the foot care profession move forward.
