Welcome to Senior Care and Assistance in Crete

Retirement in Crete has been just what you dreamed of… but things can get a little tricky if you or your partner’s health is not in such a good state. And when the idea of moving back to the UK is not the ideal or perhaps not an option, what should you do? This is where Senior Care in Crete steps in – here to give you the security you deserve and providing you with care, assistance and support; from our family to yours.

Our Mission & Vision

We are a family-run company, combining the best of two cultures – the warmth and hospitality of the Greeks and the organising precision of the British… to provide senior care and support in any kind of situation where you need help – be it in hospital, post-hospital care, in your own home and *in the future* sheltered housing.

Some say, “Life begins at retirement, so why not spend it in Crete?” Care in Crete aims to make your retirement an easy, enjoyable and lasting experience by alleviating any worries you may have about living abroad long term.

Our family-run company will be there for you when life begins to get a little bit more difficult – to ease the burden of frequent hospital trips, taking medication and, of course, problems around the house.

At senior Care in Crete we employ professional, English speaking carers, nurses, drivers and interpreters available to provide reliable care and support. This can be either part-time or full-time, in the home or during your hospital stay.

Our goal is to ensure that you have the relaxed retirement you deserve, without the stress of a language barrier or the difficulties health issues can cause. At senior Care in Crete we can help you keep your loved ones updated on how you are; we offer you immediate, dependable support and assistance.

Our Team

Elizabeth

Elizabeth

Founder

Elizabeth, who has lived in Crete since 1985, ran a successful taverna from 1986 to 2003 and has been running a very successful wedding planning business since 2005. Having brought up a family here in Crete and experiencing first-hand the healthcare system here on a number of occasions, she decided to use her knowledge and experience to help those living here who do not have a direct support system (as local Cretans usually do). She is now turning her organisational skills to running Care in Crete, with a view to setting up sheltered housing and care homes for the elderly of all nationalities to enjoy the beauties of Crete with the security of professional on-site care and assistance.
