Thanks to Bob for his kind words.

Yes, Jett, we have a number of nursing facilities, You may also just need in home help.

A good way t find this help is to put a note on the Lake Chapala Society bulletin board in the hopes that a member may know of a Mexican person with the skills and caring attitude that you want.

It;s just a matter of matching up the needs of each side.

Failing that put up your own bulletin board ads on the various bulletin boards around the area in front of Wal-Mart, SuperLake and El Torito Supermarkets.

Hope this helps, Tu amigo, Sid

P.S. If I can help with real estate, let me know.

This article on elder care, be it nursing home or other, was very informative. Thanks so much. This situation has been on my mind as of late due to a severe fall that hampered my getting around. Y como deses tu, siempre tu amiga!

Jorge, thank you for your post. There are many people who would be interested in your care. I do caregiving in my home for persons with disabilities in the U.S. What you are doing is wonderful, and much more home-like than a nursing home. I think this type of service could become the trend in the future as more people grow old and have no family to take care of them. Jorge, you may be onto something that will become more popular in the Chapala area. Thank you Sid for this post…I think it is a great addition to your site…..this type of care may be something people want to know about who want to move to Chapala, like me, and worry about what they will do when they are too old to live alone. In-home care is preferable to an insitution/asilo any day, in my opinion. Thanks again!

Pardon my intrusion. I wasn’t sure what could be said on a post. Thank you for posting mine. I understand finding a place for the elderly is a sensitive subject. If you live around ajijic, maybe you can come and meet my patient. Caregiven is a field I’m interested in. Thank you very much

I have 1.5 year experience as a caregiver. Received experience working in a nursing home. I took care of 10 people during the day shift. I have great reference. I’m working privately and currently nursing an 84year 6’6” 170 pounds men. I don’t administer any medication unless I have a prescription. I have an extra room and would love the opportunity to take care of another patient. All I ask is 300 u.s. for rent + food and diaper, ext. + 160 a week with 1 day off. my peferenc are people who need nursing care. I understand it’s almost the same price of a nursing home. I will provide full care and attention because it would only be two patients I would care for and will provide field trips around the local area. I have doctors and nurses whom I work with. This is my Vonage number (702)448-1006 for more info. My location is close to the ajijic area.

HI Christine,

Here are a few contacts from our local directory for Assisted living and nursing homes..

LaSagrada Famila E mail = youfamily@hotmail.com

Telephone from USA = 011 52 376 762 1425

It’s located on the North side of the Mountain a few miles from Lake Chapala.

Alcia’s Retirement & Nursing
011 52 376 7660721 from USA

Casa de Ancianos 011 52 376 765 – 2497 and 765- 5689

Blue House Nursing Home – 011 52 376 766 1256 (
La Casa Nostra – 011 52 376 764 4187

NOTE: I’d recommend having a bi lingual friend call and ask for the Manager at these facilities who more than likely will speak basic English.

I’ve visited La Cosa Nostra several years ago and it looked nice to me.

Several years ago they were quoting just over $1,000 USD per month for everything. Fees are likely higher now.

Siempre tu amigo, Sid
