Which senior-care pathway sounds closest?
Needs can change. The right setting depends on safety, function, cognition, medical requirements, social goals, family availability and budget.
Independent senior living
For adults who value community, convenience and supportive amenities while remaining largely independent.
Assisted living
For people who may need help with medications, bathing, dressing, meals, mobility or other daily activities.
Memory-support questions
Compare supervision, staff preparation, environment, activities, health coordination and response to changing behavior or function.
Home care and companionship
Explore practical support at home, from companionship and daily help to nursing services when clinically indicated.
Recovery or respite stay
Short-term support may help after hospitalization, during rehabilitation or while a family caregiver rests or plans next steps.
Long-distance coordination
Organize local points of contact, appointments, records and family communication for a relative living in Costa Rica.

Senior living and elder-care questions
How do we know whether assisted living or home care is better?
Compare safety, daily function, supervision needs, home environment, social goals, available family support and total cost. A professional assessment may help clarify the appropriate level of care.
Can you help if our parent lives in Costa Rica and we live abroad?
Green Healthcare can help organize local care information, appointment coordination and family communication. Exact services, permissions and clinical responsibilities must be agreed clearly.
What information should we share?
Useful information includes diagnoses, medication list, mobility, recent falls or hospitalizations, memory concerns, daily support needs, preferred location, language and budget range.
Is a residence responsible for medical treatment?
Responsibilities vary by service and agreement. Ask exactly what the residence provides, which independent clinicians are involved and what happens during a medical change or emergency.
Important: This page provides general information and coordination support, not a clinical assessment or guarantee that a facility or service is appropriate. Qualified professionals and service providers remain responsible for their assessments and care.
Tell us what your family is facing.
Share where your relative lives, what support may be needed and how soon a decision must be made.
