Curon Helper – Assistance for Seniors at Home
Flexible Support for Seniors from a Familiar Maid
Curon’s helpers assist seniors with various daily tasks and household chores, helping them live independently in their own homes for longer. With regular visits, our maids become familiar with the senior's routines and provide trustworthy, dependable assistance with everyday activities.
Our Filipino helpers have hands on experience in elderly care, often having worked as full-time caregivers for seniors in private families. They speak English and, in some cases, Finnish. Communication with seniors is usually smooth, combining different languages when necessary. Additional support in Finnish is available directly from Curon.
All Curon’s elderly care and housekeeping services are offered at the same affordable rate, with a weekly fee based on the number of visits. You can also claim a household deduction for these services on your taxes. Furthermore, seniors with reduced functional capacity due to age or illness may qualify for VAT-free pricing.
Our services are available in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, Kauniainen and Lahti.

Why Choose a Helper from Curon?
Home perfectly maintained, every week
Your familiar helper takes care of all the tasks you agree on together. Why settle for just weekly cleaning? A helper can do much more, such as laundry care, light gardening, grocery shopping, or running errands.
Delicious food, cooked in your own home!
Your helper is a good cook. You can give her recipes of your own choice to cook alone or together, or ask her to surprise you with her own favorites.
Care for your loved ones
Children, pets, and the elderly are important to the helper. You can rely on her when you don’t have enough time to take care of your loved ones or pets, or when it feels like there is too little time for shared activities.
