Home Services in Sintra

Sintra is large, diverse, and full of character, and we know it well

With its mountains, palaces, and unique landscape, Sintra is one of the most desirable municipalities to live in, but also one of the largest and most diverse in the country, ranging from the historic streets of the town to the large residential areas of Algueirão-Mem Martins, Rio de Mouro, and Queluz-Belas.

Hands Care is here to ensure that your loved ones can continue to enjoy the home they have chosen, with all the comfort and safety they deserve.

With caregivers who live in the municipality itself, we bring a truly local service to every corner of Sintra—whether in the historic center, in the most remote parishes, or in those that are hardest to reach.

The municipality closest to Lisbon that sometimes seems the farthest away

Many families who work in Lisbon have parents or grandparents living in the municipality of Sintra. On a day-to-day basis, traffic on the Sintra Line, the narrower roads in areas like Colares or Almargem do Bispo, and the pace of daily life make it difficult for them to be there as often as they would like.

Hands Care fills this gap by providing caregivers 24 hours a day, constant updates on your family member’s health and well-being, and the peace of mind that, wherever you are, there is someone you can trust in Sintra taking care of the one you love most.

Comprehensive home services in Sintra

Personal Care

From hygiene to nutrition, including medication administration and management—everything that makes up the daily life of those who need in-home care. We respect each person’s habits and routines in every care plan we develop.

We take care of meals, cleaning, shopping, and laundry, and we help with minor repairs, so that your home remains a place of comfort rather than a constant source of worry.

Support for Chronic Illnesses

Alzheimer's, advanced dementia, stroke, Parkinson's, and other conditions require caregivers with specialized training, patience, and the ability to continually adapt. We also care for bedridden patients, those with limb impairments, ostomates, or those receiving tube feeding, with the clinical rigor and compassionate care that these situations require.

Nighttime Support in Sintra

During the longest nights of the mountain winter—or at any time of year—we provide nighttime surveillance, overnight stays, and assistance with early morning outings, so your family can rest easy, knowing that someone is always nearby.

Companionship and Well-Being

Many homes in Sintra are located away from the busiest areas, which can make isolation quieter and harder to notice from a distance. Our caregivers provide genuine companionship through conversation, cognitive stimulation, short walks, and tailored activities that help maintain your family member’s spirits and mental health.

All caregivers undergo a series of evaluations—including a background check, verification of their training, and a technical interview—before joining the team. Afterward, they receive ongoing training and regular follow-up visits. We are a Social Security-licensed entity, license No. 59/2025.

Is there a fee for the in-home technical visit?

No, the visit is always free and involves no obligation on your part. Its purpose is precisely to help us understand, firsthand, the family’s actual situation and, based on that, develop a plan tailored to your family member’s specific needs.
