Real stories from Malaysian families who found dependable care at home, and from freelance caregivers who now have steady, recurring work.
Love Care is a Malaysian elderly home care platform. We connect families with verified freelance caregivers, registered nurses and therapists who provide care in your own home. We handle matching, scheduling, payments and live support, so you can focus on your loved one.
For most requests in the Klang Valley we share suitable caregiver profiles within 24 hours, and often on the same day. If your parent is being discharged tomorrow, WhatsApp us directly and a coordinator will prioritise your request.
Every caregiver passes a MyKad identity check, a reference check with at least two past employers or families, and an interview with our team. We verify training certificates, and registered nurses must hold a valid Annual Practising Certificate (APC). Families rate every completed case, and those ratings decide who gets recurring cases.
Yes. Recurring care plans are at the heart of Love Care. Once you are happy with a caregiver, we lock in a regular weekly schedule so your parent sees a familiar face. If your caregiver takes leave, we arrange a briefed replacement.
Each caregiver sets an hourly or daily rate, which you see before booking. Love Care adds a 10% platform fee for the family and deducts a 10% platform fee from the caregiver's rate. Families and caregivers see the same breakdown on every booking.
Our care coordinators are available on WhatsApp and phone from 7:00am – 11:00pm, 7 days a week, with a target first reply within 15 minutes. You can reach a real person to change a schedule, raise a concern or ask for a replacement. For medical emergencies, always call 999 first.
Set your working area, availability and the types of care you are comfortable with. Recurring plans with the same family every week go first to caregivers with strong reviews and reliable attendance. Many of our recurring plans run for months.
No. There is no registration fee, no agency deposit and no lock-in contract. If a caregiver charges a transport fee, it is agreed and shown before you confirm.
