The concept of a "nursing home" is foreign to many Filipinos, who traditionally care for elders at home. However, for expats, accurate and compassionate care is a priority.

In-Home Private Care

This is the gold standard here. You can hire a licensed private nurse to live in your home for $400 - $800 a month. This ensures 24/7 dedicated attention, companionship, and medical monitoring—something that costs thousands of dollars a month in the West.

The "Malasakit" Factor

Filipino nurses are world-renowned not just for their skill, but for their incredible empathy and "malasakit" (genuine care and concern). You aren't just a patient; you are treated like a grandparent.
