Our home care services in Sitges
Hourly home care
A professional carer visits your relative at home for a set number of hours per day or week: personal hygiene, meals, medication management, mobility support and companionship. The most common option when the elderly person still has partial independence but cannot safely be alone.
- Minimum 2h/day, full days or continuous service
- Same carer every visit — emotional continuity guaranteed
- English-speaking coordination team for families abroad
- Sick leave and holiday cover always provided
Live-in carer (24h)
A carer lives in your relative’s home Monday to Sunday, with weekly rest covered by another SACOM carer. The right solution when continuous supervision is needed, including overnight, or when the person cannot be left alone at any point.
- Private room in the home
- Rest days and holidays covered — no gaps in care
- Specialisation in dementia, pressure sores, post-hospitalisation
- Coordination with local GP (CAP Sitges) and Sant Joan Despí Hospital
Specialist domestic cleaning
Domestic help adapted to homes with elderly residents: non-slip surfaces, mild cleaning products, special attention to bathrooms and kitchen. Can be combined with care services.
- Weekly hours or specific sessions
- Staff experienced in elderly households
- Discretion and respect for the resident’s space

Why choose SACOM for home care in Sitges
- Carers directly employed by SACOM
Our carers are on our payroll, not self-employed. Your family doesn’t deal with employment contracts, social security or tax — we handle all of that. You receive one monthly invoice.
- English-speaking coordination team
Many families managing care from the UK, Ireland, the Netherlands or Germany need a team they can communicate with directly. Our coordination team handles contracts, service updates and family communication in English — no language barrier when you’re managing things from abroad.
- Same carer every time
We don’t send whoever is available that day. Your relative has a dedicated carer — the same person every visit. Continuity matters enormously for people with memory difficulties or anxiety.
- Holiday and sick leave covered
If your regular carer is unavailable, we send another SACOM carer to cover. Your relative is never left without care. This is one of the biggest practical advantages over self-employed carers.
- Compatible with Spanish care subsidies
If your relative holds a recognised dependency grade (Ley de Dependencia), SACOM is an accredited provider. The PEVS subsidy — up to €747/month for Grade 3 — can be applied directly to our service fee. We can help navigate the application process too.
- No minimum contract period
We work without lock-in periods. If you need to stop for any reason, 15 days’ notice is all we ask.
Coverage in Sitges and the Garraf coast
We cover all of Sitges and the surrounding Garraf area. Our carers travel from the Vallès with their own vehicles:
Areas we cover: Sitges (all districts including Vinyet and Terramar), Vilanova i la Geltrú, Cubelles, Castelldefels, Gavà, Begues and Olivella. For post-hospitalisation cases, we coordinate directly with the CAP de Sitges and Hospital Sant Joan Despí. If your relative is being discharged from hospital, we can have care in place the day they return home.
What families say
«My parents retired to Sitges 15 years ago. When my father needed full-time care after his stroke, SACOM was the only local agency with a proper employment contract and a coordination team that speaks English. That made all the difference — we could manage everything from London and always knew exactly what was happening.»
«We tried two other local carers before SACOM. Both were self-employed and the paperwork became a nightmare. With SACOM we just get a monthly invoice. When our carer had to take sick leave, they sent a replacement the next morning. That reliability is worth everything.»
Frequently asked questions
