Senior Care Referrals for Expats in Costa Rica

COMPAÑERA / COMPANION

A clearer way to find senior care in Costa Rica

Finding the right care can be difficult, especially when you are new to Costa Rica, live outside the country or do not know which type of provider to contact. Compañera gives you one place to start. We listen to your situation, clarify the type of support that may be appropriate and connect you with independent local providers. We help you assess the options and offer practical guidance. The final provider decision and service agreement remain yours. Compañera does not employ caregivers or operate care facilities. Each provider is responsible for its staffing, services, schedules, fees and care delivery.
