Dubai & Abu Dhabi Elderly Care
Filipino Elderly Care Staff in Dubai and Abu Dhabi
Elderly care makes up most home care demand in Dubai and Abu Dhabi, from families keeping ageing parents at home to 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 elderly care, with visas, paperwork, and Philippine clearances handled through to arrival.
Book a Hiring Call
Filipino elderly care in Dubai and Abu Dhabi means daily living and clinical support for older adults at home: frail elderly, dementia, and post-surgical clients. Caregivers hold the TESDA NC II qualification, home care nurses are DataFlow-verified, and providers are licensed by DHA in Dubai or DOH in Abu Dhabi.
The elderly care your clients actually need
Care covers daily living support, mobility and falls prevention, dementia care, medication reminders, post-operative recovery at home, and long-term condition support, on a live-in or visiting basis.
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, and any prior overseas experience.
Filipino caregivers hold a TESDA National Certificate in Caregiving (NC II), the Philippine national caregiving qualification, verified directly with TESDA. We also check references and assess English. This English proficiency and formal training are key reasons employers in Dubai and Abu Dhabi choose Filipino staff for elderly clients.
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 make up most of the roster. Home care nurses lead clinical care in the home, including medication management, wound care, and long-term condition monitoring. We source all of them from one brief and one point of contact, screened for elderly and dementia care specifically, not hospital staff redirected.

Shift patterns and cover
Live-in and visiting patterns are both screened, and profiles state which each caregiver has worked.
For round-the-clock cover, providers roster multiple caregivers, and we build the brief to match your rota.
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 makes screening central, so we place more weight on references, care records, and English than for licensed clinical roles.
Where a placement includes registered nurses, each one has confirmed DataFlow status and a clear licensing pathway for the Emirate before deployment, and works under your provider licence. We only shortlist candidates who can complete registration.
How hiring works

Timelines and commitments
Confirmed brief to shortlist is typically 3 to 5 weeks, and brief to arrival 3 to 4 months. You can also count on:
You will not be shown a caregiver whose care background does not match your clients.
Free replacement within 3 months.
Candidates never pay fees at any stage.
Every placement is processed under the Philippine Department of Migrant Workers (DMW) framework.
When free replacement applies
If a placement does not work out within the first three months, tell us and we replace the caregiver from the screened pool through the same process, at no charge.
Who we work with
Families who arrange care privately for a relative use 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 are the direct employer and visa sponsor for the staff we place.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi Elderly Care Questions
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.
Yes. It is a major focus of our screening, 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.
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.
Typically 3 to 4 months from confirmed brief, often at the faster end 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.
