We were a customer of the company help4seniors for a good seven years. It provides not only Polish workers as caregivers but also from other Eastern European countries. I can only report about the Polish ladies. Help4seniors cooperates here with a Polish agency, which also receives the monthly fee. Help4seniors receives an annual one-time fee.
The costs consist of the monthly fee of about 2000,-- €, the annual fee of about 650,--E and the travel costs every 3-6 months of 150,--€ each way. Now one thinks, that is quite expensive. If they consider however in an old people's home they pay approximately 2000, - to 3000, - € to.
The advantage of a nurse from abroad is obvious. The person to be cared for remains in their environment and a person is constantly looking after them. The responsibility of the caregivers is high. I have never seen caregivers being careless with their patients.
However, one should also know, the caregivers are not maids or nannies. They come to their house and actually do their nursing and housekeeping tasks. The contact should therefore be decent, then it also works. There is no need to be afraid, nothing is stolen.
I am still very grateful to the ladies over the years they cared for my elderly parents and my mother-in-law.
