Dubai & Abu Dhabi Elderly Care
Filipino Elderly Care Staff in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Elderly care is most of the home care demand in Dubai and Abu Dhabi: families keeping ageing parents at home, dementia support, and recovery after early discharge. We staff licensed home healthcare providers and care facilities with Filipino caregivers and home care nurses recruited directly from the Philippines, screened for exactly that work, with visas, paperwork, and clearances handled through to arrival.

The elderly care your clients actually need
Daily living support, mobility and falls prevention, dementia care, medication reminders, post-operative recovery at home, and long-term condition support, live-in or visiting. A caregiver who suits a recovering surgical patient is not automatically right for advanced dementia, so every profile we send states the care types worked, the client histories behind them, and prior overseas experience where it exists.
Filipino caregivers hold a TESDA National Certificate in Caregiving (NC II), the Philippine national caregiving qualification, verified directly with TESDA, with references checked and English assessed by us. That English proficiency and structured training background are why employers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi place Filipino staff with elderly clients so consistently.
Roles for elderly care settings
An elderly care roster runs on a mix of skills. Caregivers and home care assistants deliver daily living support and companionship, and are the volume role on most rosters. Home care nurses lead clinical care in the home, medication management, wound care, and long-term condition monitoring, where a client needs it. We source all of them from one brief and one point of contact, screened for elderly and dementia care specifically rather than hospital staff redirected.

Dubai and Abu Dhabi: how staffing is regulated
Home healthcare providers are licensed by the authority of their Emirate: the Dubai Health Authority (DHA) in Dubai, and the Department of Health (DOH) in Abu Dhabi. Your provider holds the licence and care staff work under it; caregivers are not individually licensed the way nurses are. That puts the hiring assurance in the screening, which is why ours is heavier on references, care records, and English than for licensed clinical roles.
Where a placement includes registered nurses, each one arrives with confirmed DataFlow status and eligibility for the licensing pathway of the Emirate, and activates under your provider licence. You are not shown candidates who cannot complete registration.

Who we work with
Families arranging care privately for a relative do so under a different UAE sponsorship route from company and facility employment, and that is not a service we provide. We work with licensed home care companies and care facilities, which act as the direct employer and visa sponsor for the staff we place.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi Elderly Care Questions
- Do you place elderly caregivers directly with families in Dubai or Abu Dhabi?
- No. We staff licensed home healthcare providers, care agencies, and care facilities. A family arranging care for an elderly relative should go through a licensed provider in their Emirate, which is exactly the type of employer we staff.
- Can you source caregivers with dementia and elderly care experience specifically?
- Yes, and it is most of what we screen for, since elderly care is most of UAE home care demand. Every profile states the care types worked, including dementia care, mobility and falls support, and post-operative recovery, with references checked and English assessed by us.
- What is different about hiring in Dubai versus Abu Dhabi?
- The licensing authority. Home healthcare providers in Dubai are licensed by the Dubai Health Authority (DHA); providers in Abu Dhabi are licensed by the Department of Health (DOH). Your provider licence covers the care service, and any registered nurses on the team follow the licensing pathway for that Emirate. We confirm which route applies at brief stage.
- How quickly can elderly care staff arrive?
- Typically around three months from confirmed brief for care staff, often quicker than licensed clinical roles because there is no licensing examination stage. Confirmed brief to shortlist is usually 3 to 5 weeks, and we replace free within the first three months.
