2

Home Visit & Care Plan

We visit your loved one, assess their needs in person, and create a personalized care plan together.

3

Carer Matching

We match your loved one with a carer based on personality, skills, and preferences. Not just availability.

4

Care Begins

Your dedicated carer starts. We keep you updated with regular check-ins so you always know how things are going.

How It Works

More Than Care. A Partner for Your Family.

When your parent lives thousands of miles away and needs help, you need more than a service. You need someone who understands the worry, the guilt, and the urgency. We have been that reassuring voice for hundreds of families since 2017.

Nurse-Led, Not Agency-Led

Every care plan is designed and supervised by experienced healthcare professionals, not administrators.

Your Carer Becomes a Familiar Face

We match personality, not just availability. Your loved one sees the same people, building real trust.

Our Story

Born From a Daughter's Promise

Kelly Dugmore founded Algarve Care Services after spending years caring for her own family. Her father, her grandmother with dementia, and ultimately her mother Janet, who was taken by Covid-19 in January 2021.

"Don't worry darling, don't cry. It will all be ok I promise. Be strong. I love you."

Janet Dugmore — 12 January 2021

Janet’s words became our compass. Today, every home we enter carries her spirit. Our promise is simple: to deliver the kind of care we would want for our own family.
