Care for people at home or in hospital

Vivofácil’s home or hospital care service is a comprehensive, personalized solution designed to accompany and assist older adults, dependent persons, or convalescent patients, both in their own homes and during hospital stays. Vivofácil’s team of professionals helps with everyday activities such as getting up, washing, preparing and serving meals, performing household chores, and providing companionship during hospitalization or recovery. All staff are registered with the Social Security system and have civil liability insurance, so you can have complete confidence in the person caring for your loved ones.

Vivofácil’s home or hospital care service has a minimum of 3 consecutive hours per service. After that, you can freely choose the number of hours that best suits your situation: 5, 6, or more hours, depending on your family member’s needs. This flexibility makes it possible to adapt the service to specific situations such as postoperative care, convalescence, or a particular hospital stay, without long-term commitments you do not need at that time.

The standard rate for the hourly home or hospital care service is €19.58 per hour during business hours (Monday to Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Saturdays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m.). A holiday rate also applies on Saturdays after 2 p.m., Sundays, and public holidays, as well as a night rate from 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. Customers with the Vivofácil PRIME plan can access the reduced rate of €15.27 per hour. Rates increase on special days such as December 24 and 31 (from 3 p.m.), December 25, and January 1 and 6. We recommend contacting us at 900 877 977 for details.

This is a particularly valuable solution during postoperative situations or extended periods of convalescence, when the presence of a trusted caregiver makes a significant difference.

Vivofácil professionals who provide in-home care for sick people can assist with a wide range of daily activities: help getting up and going to bed, personal care and hygiene, preparing and serving meals, performing light household chores, and providing companionship both at home and when traveling to the hospital or other facilities. Each service is adapted to the specific needs of the person receiving care, ensuring personalized attention and the warmth of someone who cares as if they were family.
