Areas we cover
Fuengirola · Málaga
Fuengirola is a coastal town with a long seafront, a dense centre and districts such as Los Boliches, Carvajal, Torreblanca and El Boquetillo. A good share of residents come from northern Europe and live here all year or for long stretches, so many homes run in two languages. The Cercanías line links to Málaga and the airport, which makes hourly work in different spots practical.

What the service includes
Care for elderly or dependent people: personal hygiene, prescribed medication, companionship, mobility and meals.
Before hiring, describe the level of dependency, whether the person has to be moved, whether cooking is included and which nights need cover. In Fuengirola many families in Centro and Los Boliches start with a few hours a day and extend once they see how the person responds: a prudent way to size the service.
What we ask of the professional
Experience in dependency or geriatric care, patience, references and often formal care training.
In Fuengirola we ask for experience in dependency care, patience and references; the work takes place mainly in Centro and Los Boliches, and many families value training in moving a person safely and in giving prescribed medication.
Legal framework
Continuous personal care usually requires an employment contract with Social Security; home-help services have their own framework.
In Fuengirola we support the family through the paperwork: we review the contract before it is signed and check that registration and contributions are up to date.
