In-Home Caregivers for the Sick

When a Family Needs a Caregiver for the Sick

A caregiver for the sick takes over the daily care of a person who can no longer manage without help: hygiene, medication, meals, mobility and monitoring their wellbeing. Families most often come to us when a relative is returning home from hospital, recovering from a stroke, fracture or surgery, or living with cancer or dementia. It is not enough for the family to find a kind person — they need a caregiver with experience of that exact condition, who understands the specifics of care, notices worrying changes and knows when to call the doctor. These are the specialists we select for private families around the world.

After hospital or surgery

The first weeks at home after discharge need special attention: dressings as prescribed, medication control, help with mobility and following the recovery plan.

Stroke or injury

After a stroke, heart attack or hip fracture, the caregiver helps rebuild self-care skills, carries out exercises from the rehabilitation plan and supports the patient when walking.

Bedridden patient

A bedridden or low-mobility person needs a caregiver skilled in personal hygiene, repositioning, pressure sore prevention and safe feeding.

Serious chronic illness

With cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease or in palliative care, what matters is experience with the diagnosis, patience and readiness for round-the-clock care alongside a shift partner.

Caregivers for the sick

Experienced caregivers for the sick at home

Candidates experienced with bedridden patients, stroke recovery, cancer and dementia. Every caregiver has been interviewed and her references checked.

Caregivers worldwide

A caregiver for a sick relative — in any country where your family lives

We place caregivers for sick family members in Europe, the UAE, the USA and other countries — including cases where a relative lives apart from the family or is undergoing treatment or rehabilitation abroad. We take into account the language needed with the patient and doctors, experience with the specific condition, visa requirements and the caregiver’s readiness to relocate or travel with the patient.

Caregiver duties

What a caregiver does for a sick person

Duties are tailored to the diagnosis, the attending doctor’s recommendations and the family’s routine. Most often they include the following.

Health care and hygiene
Health care and hygiene
  • Medication strictly as prescribed by the doctor, with a medication log
  • Monitoring blood pressure, pulse, temperature, blood sugar and oxygen saturation
  • Personal hygiene for bedridden patients: washing, bed baths, changing linen and incontinence products
  • Pressure sore prevention: repositioning and skin care
  • Help with transfers: getting out of bed, moving to a wheelchair, assisted walking
  • Physiotherapy and breathing exercises following the rehabilitation plan
  • Observing the patient’s condition and promptly updating the doctor and family
Daily living, meals and support
Daily living, meals and support
  • Preparing meals according to the prescribed diet, help with feeding
  • Monitoring fluid intake and keeping a daily wellbeing journal
  • Keeping the patient’s room clean, laundry and regular bed linen changes
  • Accompanying the patient to tests, procedures and doctor visits
  • Walks outdoors and manageable daily activity
  • Companionship, emotional support and a steady daily routine
  • Coordinating with the nurse, doctor and other household staff

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

Limited access to strong candidates

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.

Swift access to experienced professionals

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.

Continuity of care during transitions

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.

Global reach for international families

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.

Risk of unqualified or unreliable caregivers

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.

Need companion caregiver for your elderly family member

Submit your request and a Royal Keeper recruiter will contact you to discuss your requirements and introduce carefully selected candidates.

Caregiver placement

Caregivers

for the sick

A caregiver for the sick is needed when a family member requires constant attention: after surgery or discharge from hospital, after a stroke or heart attack, with cancer, dementia, Parkinson’s disease or a hip fracture. Professional in-home care lets the patient recover in familiar surroundings, while the family no longer has to juggle work and bedside shifts.

Royal Keeper selects caregivers for bedridden and low-mobility patients who have medical training and proven experience with specific conditions. The caregiver follows the attending doctor’s instructions, manages medication and monitors health indicators, provides personal hygiene, prevents pressure sores, helps with meals and mobility, accompanies the patient to appointments and remains an attentive companion. A caregiver does not replace a doctor: the scope of medical tasks depends on the prescriptions and on the rules of the country where they work.

We offer different formats — live-in, 24-hour, day or night shifts — and for patients with complex needs we arrange round-the-clock care with a team of two caregivers. Every candidate is vetted through interviews, education documents, references from previous employers and a background check. The family receives profiles of suitable candidates, interviews them and chooses the caregiver, while we support the contract, the agreed duties and the adaptation period.

We place caregivers for the sick in France, Switzerland, the UAE, the USA and other countries. If your relative is elderly and has no serious diagnosis, see also our elderly caregiver page.
