Areas we cover
Jaen · Jaén
Jaén is a mid-sized provincial capital, with a historic centre on a slope and flatter newer districts such as Expansión Norte, the Bulevar and Las Fuentezuelas. The economy revolves around olive growing, and that shows in the hours: in some campaigns families are out all day and need help at home. It is also a city with a large older population, living alone or in couples and needing steady company.

Part-time mornings are the most common, often combined with caring for an older person in the afternoon. As a stable, local market, the same person tends to stay for years in the same house, and cover is arranged by recommendation.
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 Jaen many families in Centro and Expansión Norte 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 Jaen we ask for experience in dependency care, patience and references; the work takes place mainly in Centro and Expansión Norte, 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 Jaen 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.
