Birkenstock sandals. Ugly but oooh....so comfortable.
Anyway, ugly sandals are all the rage these days.
Hospital says to wear trainers and stretch the foot, calf and hamstring muscles.

Put in special or customised insoles.

I used to suffer from plantar fasciitis and wearing this to bed stretches the arch of the foot over the course of the night. Happy to donate my (used) sock for a good cause.
Superfeet insoles plus an additonal foam patch on the exact spot. You have to find that by trial and error. I found with the newer generation (2018 line) New Balance running shoes, they improved thier insole and I no longer need to swap it out.
I think the only home remedy is to not walk or impose yourself to being in a wheel chair. Seriously, get some cushiony slippers i.e. flip flops for walking around the house.
It is possible to heal it but you have to wear the proper shoes and insoles for about a year.
My job requires a lot of standing. Have been looking for shoes targeted for plantar fasciitis but till now all I've managed to find is a jelly insole at Dr Kong.
Management : Ibuprofen to reduce pain (and inflammation) but I guess it will be more harmful in the long run, vitamin complex supplements blah blah. Some stretching exercises and ice compression.
Also, I am looking for compression socks. You've mentioned NB (for shoes). Perhaps, I should pop in there. ( Edit : Google result shows those socks can be found in Mannings, Watson's and Fanda. Yay! The real pain is finding the shoes).

But are they useful for PF? They do have a very good bed and are comfortable, but they are quite hard. Maybe they do work, I am a bit skeptical. Using extra heel pads is also not really practical with sandals.
But I would like to read from PF sufferer that tried Birkenstocks.
Tennis ball í ½í¹‚ roll your heel using tennis ball (there’s a real one but tennis ball is a cheap:accessible sub)! Hope u feel better soon!
