In-Home Caregivers for the Elderly

When a Family Needs a Caregiver for an Elderly Relative
A caregiver helps an elderly person stay at home in familiar surroundings while staying safe: monitoring medication and wellbeing, helping with hygiene, meals and mobility, and keeping them company. Families most often come to us when parents find it hard to manage alone, when children live far away, or when a relative has dementia or is recovering from illness. The family needs more than a helper: they need an attentive, experienced person they can trust with their loved one every day. These are the caregivers we select for private families around the world.
Missed medication, risk of falls, difficulty with hygiene and cooking — the caregiver takes these on while preserving the person’s independence.
When children live in another city or country, the caregiver becomes their support beside their parents and gives regular updates.
As memory declines, patience, a clear routine and dementia experience matter most — these are the caregivers we select.
After hospital, a fracture or surgery, the caregiver helps the person return to normal life: medication, exercises and mobility support.
Experienced caregivers
Each professional brings verified expertise, multilingual skills, and a refined approach to personal care.


















































































































All candidates undergo thorough screening to ensure trust and compatibility.
Which caregiver is right for you
We match the caregiver to your loved one’s condition, the work format and the language of communication. Choose the option that fits — each page describes duties, terms and example candidates.

Lives in the client’s home and provides care, health monitoring and a reassuring presence during the day and, when needed, at night.

24-hour shifts or a team of shift partners — round-the-clock care with no gaps and no need for one person to live in.
Caregivers for the elderly in Europe, the UAE, the USA and beyond
We help families whose elderly parents live in another country, spend the season abroad or are moving to join their children. We select a caregiver who speaks the language of the client and of the country, understands how local healthcare works and is ready to relocate or travel with the family. We take visa matters and legal employment into account.
What a caregiver does for an elderly person
Duties are tailored to the client’s health, the doctor’s recommendations and the family’s routine. Most often they include the following.
- Medication as prescribed, with a medication log
- Monitoring blood pressure, pulse, blood sugar and general wellbeing
- Help with hygiene, dressing and moving around the home
- Fall prevention and home safety
- Care for low-mobility and bedridden clients, pressure sore prevention
- Accompanying the client to doctors, tests and procedures
- Contacting the doctor and family if the condition changes
- Cooking in line with the diet, monitoring fluid intake
- Keeping the client’s room tidy, laundry and bed linen changes
- Shopping for groceries and medication, small errands
- Walks, light exercise and staying active
- Conversation, reading, hobbies and memory activities
- Keeping a familiar daily routine and good spirits
- Regular updates to relatives on wellbeing
Additional responsibilities such as travel assistance or extended household tasks are discussed individually and outlined in the agreement.
Why choose Royal Keeper when hiring a caregiver
We help families skip months of searching and connect directly with vetted caregivers — locally and worldwide
Royal Keeper has a large private database: we have been working since 2000, and many caregivers deliberately do not post their CVs online or enter the open market. You gain access to professionals impossible to find through regular listings.
When urgent care is needed for an elderly family member, independent searching takes valuable time. We maintain a ready pool of vetted caregivers and can present suitable candidates promptly.
Should a caregiver need to leave, we handle the replacement process seamlessly. Our agency ensures minimal disruption to the established routine and emotional well-being of the elderly person.
When relocating abroad it becomes difficult to identify caregivers who understand local medical regulations, visa requirements and cultural expectations around elder care. Royal Keeper maintains an international network and selects professionals who can relocate with the family while meeting specific health and legal standards.
Without thorough background checks families may entrust elderly relatives to individuals lacking medical training or verified experience. Royal Keeper maintains detailed candidate histories, verifies references and excludes profiles that do not meet professional geriatric care standards.
Families seeking caregivers often face uncertainty about qualifications and long-term reliability. Royal Keeper handles verification and selection so you can focus on your loved one’s comfort rather than administrative concerns.

About Us
Royal Keeper is an international agency for the selection of premium household staff and nannies for families around the world, founded in 2000. For over 25 years we have combined luxury service standards with a very attentive approach to each family.
Our recruitment team speaks several languages and works with clients across Europe, the UK, the USA, the Middle East and Asia, so we understand the cultural nuances and requirements of different countries.
We build long-term relationships: most families come back to us or refer their friends, and candidates bring their colleagues and acquaintances.
Service pricing and cooperation terms
Ranges from 12% to 22% of the specialist’s annual salary and depends on the country of recruitment, the level of the position, the urgency of the search, and the selected contract format. The replacement guarantee period ranges from 6 to 12 months, and the number of replacements depends on the selected contract.
Payment is made in two stages: an initial deposit is required to confirm the order and start work on the request, and the remaining balance is paid after the candidate has been approved.
Special conditions are available for returning clients, repeat requests, and orders involving the selection of several specialists for one family.
In-home caregiver
for the elderly
An elderly person needs a caregiver when managing alone becomes difficult: they forget medication, are at risk of falls, find it harder to cope at home or are recovering from illness. Professional in-home care keeps familiar surroundings and routines, and gives the family peace of mind that their loved one is looked after, even if relatives live in another city or country.
Royal Keeper selects caregivers for the elderly with care experience, medical training and verified references. The caregiver monitors medication and wellbeing, helps with hygiene, meals and mobility, accompanies the client to doctors, keeps a steady daily routine and becomes an attentive companion. Every candidate is vetted through interviews, documents, references from previous employers and a background check. A caregiver does not replace a doctor and follows the doctor’s instructions.
We match the format to the family: a live-in caregiver, a 24-hour caregiver for round-the-clock care, or day shifts. If your loved one has a serious diagnosis, consider a caregiver for the sick, a caregiver with medical education or a nurse caregiver for injections, IV drips and dressings.
We work with families worldwide and find a caregiver who speaks the client’s language: a Russian-speaking, English-speaking or French-speaking caregiver. We help families in Spain, France, Switzerland, the UAE, the USA and other countries.
