Typical situations
Perhaps one of these situations sounds familiar
Most families come to us when things have to move quickly. Does one of these sound familiar?
Dementia care
Forgetfulness is increasing and the worry that something might happen is growing. You want someone there with patience and experience — day and night, in familiar surroundings.
Discuss your situationRelief for family carers
You've been caring yourself for months and are reaching your limit. Asking for help isn't a weakness — it's the step that gives you and your parents room to breathe again.
Discuss your situationSupport in everyday life
Intensive care isn't needed yet, but the household, shopping and companionship are becoming harder. A caregiver helps your parents live safely and with dignity at home.

What “legal & compliant” actually means
Many families wonder whether a caregiver from Eastern Europe is really employed legally. Here we explain it simply — without the legal jargon.
Posting model
The caregiver stays formally employed by a company in their home country and is officially “posted” from there to you in Germany. This means you, as the family, never become the employer and don't have to manage any employment.
Proper employment
The caregiver does not work undeclared or as a bogus self-employed contractor, but has a real employment contract with regulated working hours and pay. That protects the caregiver — and you.
Social insurance
Through their employment at home, the caregiver is covered by social insurance — health, pension and accident insurance. You don't need to register or pay any additional contributions in Germany.
A1 certificate
The A1 certificate is the official proof that the caregiver is socially insured in their home country and may legally work in Germany. This document is in place for every placement — and we take care of it.
Selected caregivers
Meet some of our verified caregivers
Every caregiver for in-home senior care is personally selected, verified and supported — many with experience in elderly care and dementia support.

Home instead of a home
Why home care is the better choice for many families
A nursing home can be the right path. But many parents wish to stay in their own four walls — and there are good reasons for that wish.

Frequently asked questions
Answers to your questions
The essentials about costs, process and safety — explained clearly.
Monthly costs usually start at around €2,390 and depend on the individual care needs, the caregiver's German skills and experience. In a personal conversation we'll give you a transparent overview — with no hidden fees.
We organize the caregiver's arrival and departure for you. You don't need to worry about a thing — your coordinator arranges all appointments and accompanies the entire process until care begins at home.
With a recognized care level, benefits such as the care allowance or the relief amount can noticeably reduce the monthly costs. We'll clearly explain which options apply to your situation.
Our caregivers often come from Eastern Europe and have German skills at levels A2 to B2. Depending on your wishes, we specifically match a caregiver with whom good everyday communication is possible.
In many cases a suitable caregiver can start within a few days to two weeks. In urgent situations we make every effort to find a particularly fast solution.
Yes. The placement is fully legal and transparent in accordance with applicable German regulations. All required documents are clearly prepared, and your contact person guides you through the entire process.
Your coordinator gets back to you personally within 15 minutes. In a first, no-obligation call we calmly go through your questions and needs — free and with no commitment.
If your caregiver ever falls ill or is unavailable, we promptly arrange a suitable replacement — so your loved one is cared for without interruption. You don't need to organise a thing.
It happens — and it's no problem. If the personal fit isn't right or your needs change, we'll arrange a different caregiver promptly. Your dedicated coordinator stays at your side throughout.
