About
Cuideo is a comprehensive eldercare services platform based in Spain, designed to help families find reliable, professional caregivers for their elderly parents or relatives. Recognizing that most seniors prefer to remain in their own homes as long as possible, Cuideo offers a wide spectrum of solutions tailored to different needs and levels of dependency. Their core offerings include hourly caregivers for daily tasks like personal hygiene, grocery shopping, and companionship, as well as full-time live-in caregivers for individuals with degenerative illnesses or severe mobility challenges. For remote peace of mind, Cuideo Assist provides teleassistance to detect falls, medical emergencies, or location concerns. Beyond care staffing, Cuideo also helps families navigate Spain's dependency and disability benefit system, potentially unlocking up to €747/month in monthly financial aid to cover care costs. Additional services include home physiotherapy for post-surgery or injury recovery, and podiatry visits for seniors with mobility limitations. Cuideo serves thousands of families across major Spanish cities, operating seven days a week, 365 days a year. It is ideal for adult children managing aging parents, elderly individuals seeking to maintain independence at home, and families seeking a trustworthy, all-in-one care management partner.
