Areas we cover
Mijas · Málaga
Mijas is a sprawled municipality: Mijas Pueblo sits in the hills, Las Lagunas is the most urban and commercial area, and La Cala, Calahonda and Riviera stretch along the coast with gated urbanisations. Distances between centres are long and many houses fall outside bus routes, so a car changes the working day completely.

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 Mijas many families in Mijas Pueblo and Las Lagunas 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 Mijas we ask for experience in dependency care, patience and references; the work takes place mainly in Mijas Pueblo and Las Lagunas, 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.
