Maybe consider a podiatrist. Sounds like you are dealing with the same thing as me. My clippers are no match for my mom's thick, curved, long toenails. I didn't want to risk a foot infection by trying to cut those things. Mom's under hospice care at my home and they sent a podiatrist to my house to trim her nails, using what looks like a dremel tool! They said they could come out every ten weeks paid for by medicare. I hope you find something that works for you.

I worked for podiatrists for 11+ years.

Yes a dremel is one of the tools they use.

Medicare pays for every 10 weeks for toenail cutting. They do get thicker as we age. I am having problems with my husbands.

Margaret in this forum recommends electronic side-cutters for toenail cutting. She says they work great. These are brand new ones u use.

Medicare benefits pay for some in-home podiatrist services. Check her benefits.
She may be available for routine podiatry services at home.

I would make an appointment with a podiatrist. They have the tools for those unwieldy nails! If you MIL would like a treat, then once those babies are hedged, then maybe a pedicure.
