Care that comes home

Care that comes home, hour by hour.

Matched carers and registered nurses across Athens since 2017. The same warm face every visit, written notes on the kitchen table, and a lead nurse who knows your family by name.

We started this for our own mother.

Families who let us in.

“My father had a stroke in March 2025 and came home from Hygeia with three new medications, a walker and a lot of fear. Eleni Kourti from WarmCare visited that same Tuesday morning and stayed two hours. She wrote on the very first page of the journal: 'Mr Stefanos walked four steps to the kitchen.' My father read it and cried. He walks freely now.”
Aliki Stefanou — Kifisia.
“My mother has vascular dementia and we tried two agencies before WarmCare. The difference is the same two carers — Maria and Despoina — every week, never a stranger. Sofia Markou comes herself once a month to review the plan. My mother calls Maria 'my friend who knows my songs'.”
Petros Manolopoulos — Glyfada.
“As a GP I am picky. I sent my own mother to WarmCare. Yannis Petropoulos handles her insulin and the visit notes are good enough that I sign them off without questions. The journal stays on her kitchen table and it has become the way our family communicates.”
Dr Christina Papadaki — Pangrati.
“I live in Brussels and my mother lives alone in Athens. The WarmCare journal — the actual paper one — is the difference between worry and trust. I read it on weekends when I visit. Last month it had three full pages about her tomato plants and a note from Eleni saying she finally agreed to use the cane.”
Maria-Elena Constantinou — Vyronas.

If your parent has had a hard week, call us today.

We answer the phone ourselves Monday to Friday. The first call is fifteen minutes and there is no charge. We will say honestly whether we are the right fit or not.
