News & Updates
What happens if your home carer in Spain calls in sick? Is night support included in the fee—or billed as a surprise extra? Does anyone on shift at 2:00 AM speak comfortable English? When arranging care in a foreign country, the biggest setbacks usually come from the questions we didn't know to ask. Whether you are exploring options for yourself, planning ahead, or managing care for a family member, navigating a foreign system can feel like stepping into a maze. To help you navigate these choices with confidence, Age in Spain has published a complete practical checklist covering the essential details to verify before signing any agreement. What the guide covers: Support at Home: Background checks, guaranteed cover for sick days, and clear care plan reviews.
