Hear From the Families We Support
The team has enabled our Dad to continue living independently in the Algarve. He sees his carers as friends now. For my brother and I back in the UK, this has meant complete peace of mind. We would recommend them to anyone looking for care.
I needed to use the support services of Algarve Care Services for my husband who has Parkinson’s. From the first contacts with Kelly, I felt very comfortable and supported. The carer allocated was very responsible, careful, attentive, and patient. I feel safe to recommend this care to anyone who needs it.
A Dedicated Team Behind Every Visit
Our carers, nurses, and coordinators are carefully selected, fully trained, and matched to the families we serve. Led by Kelly Dugmore, a nurse with over 12 years of UK healthcare experience, every member of our team shares one commitment: delivering the kind of care we would want for our own family.
- Fully trained, vetted, and registered carers

Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our care services. If your question is not here, get in touch and we will be happy to help.
How quickly can care start?
In most cases we can arrange care within 24 to 48 hours. For crisis situations, we can often begin same-day support. It starts with a quick phone call to understand your needs.
How much does home care cost?
Costs depend on the level and frequency of care needed. We provide a full quote after your free assessment so there are no surprises. We are transparent about pricing from the start.
Can I arrange care from outside Portugal?
Absolutely. Many of our families are based in the UK or elsewhere in Europe. We handle everything locally and keep you updated with regular communication so you always know how your loved one is doing.
What qualifications do your carers have?
All carers are fully trained, vetted, and registered. Our care is overseen by a nurse with over 12 years of UK healthcare experience. We only hire people we would trust with our own family.
What if our regular carer is unavailable?
We always have trained backup carers who are familiar with your loved one’s care plan. We prioritize consistency but ensure there is never a gap in care.
Do you help with dementia care?
Yes. Dementia care is at the heart of what we do. Our founder started this company after her own experience caring for family members with dementia. We provide specialized, compassionate dementia support.
