SAAR Health and Social Care was created with exactly that purpose in mind: to provide professional, compassionate care in the comfort of people’s own homes, delivered in English, with dignity and respect at its core.
SAAR Health and Social Care operates across the Algarve with a dedicated team of over 150 fully trained professionals, all of whom speak fluent English. We understand that navigating healthcare and social care in another country can feel overwhelming, particularly during times of illness, recovery, or ageing. Our role is to bridge that gap, offering trusted support that feels familiar, responsive, and easy to access.
We provide a wide range of home-based services, including daily assistance, companionship, personal care, post-hospital support, and specialist dementia care. One of our most valued services within the expat community is Live-in Care, which enables people to remain safely in their own home with continuous support from a dedicated carer. This offers reassurance not only to clients, but also to family members who may live elsewhere in Portugal or abroad.
Live-in care is often a comforting alternative to residential care, particularly for those who value independence, routine, and familiarity. Care is fully tailored to individual needs, ensuring continuity, dignity, and peace of mind. Every care journey begins with a free, no-obligation assessment visit, allowing us to listen carefully, understand personal circumstances, and recommend the most appropriate support.
SAAR also offers a private ambulance and medical transport service, providing local transport to and from hospitals, clinics, medical appointments, and rehabilitation centres. For those facing more complex situations, we can coordinate full medical repatriation across Portugal, throughout Europe, and back to the UK, managing every step with professionalism and sensitivity during what can be a very stressful time.
A recent example highlights how this joined-up support can make a real difference. Margaret, a British expat living in the Algarve, suffered a fall that left her needing ongoing care. Determined to stay in her own home, she contacted SAAR. Following an assessment visit, live-in care was arranged to assist with mobility, personal hygiene, meals, medication, and companionship. When hospital appointments were required, SAAR’s transport service ensured safe and reliable transfers. Today, Margaret continues to enjoy her garden, her weekly coffee with friends, and the independence she feared she might lose — while her family in the UK has complete peace of mind.
SAAR is proud to support the expat community across the Algarve, helping people live safely, comfortably, and confidently at home.
