Assisted Living & Senior Care in Manila for Expat Retirees

Metro Manila senior care

Why Manila is the right place for expat senior care

Manila is the natural entry point for expat retirees moving to the Philippines. It offers English-speaking healthcare, international hospitals, a well-established expat community, and direct flights from the US, UK, Australia, Canada, and the Middle East. Our Makati office puts ExpatCare PH at the heart of it — close to the hospitals, embassies, and services seniors rely on most.

Manila nursing home or assisted living?

Many families search for a "Manila nursing home" when what they actually need is assisted living. Nursing homes are built around skilled nursing and medical intervention. Assisted living is for seniors who want their own space and routine, with help available for daily tasks like bathing, medication, meals, and mobility.

ExpatCare PH is not a nursing home or care facility. We are an independent concierge and in-home care partner: you live in your own home in Metro Manila, and we bring the support to you. If skilled nursing becomes necessary, we coordinate directly with Metro Manila hospitals and specialist teams.

  • In-home caregivers, from a few hours a week to live-in support
  • Medication management, doctor visits, and hospital coordination
  • Help with daily living tasks without losing independence
  • Social outings and introductions to local expat groups

When to choose each option

Assisted living

Best for seniors who need help with daily tasks but are medically stable and want to stay active and independent.

Nursing home

Best for seniors who need round-the-clock skilled nursing, ventilator care, or complex post-hospital rehabilitation.

Our Makati base, close to Metro Manila's best hospitals

ExpatCare PH is based in Makati, the central business district of Metro Manila and one of the most accessible, secure, and expat-friendly areas in the capital. Being here means faster ambulance response times, shorter drives to specialist appointments, and easy access to the embassies and government offices that retirees need for visas and documentation.

How much does assisted living in Manila cost?

Assisted living in Metro Manila typically costs a fraction of equivalent care in the US, UK, Canada, or Australia — often 60–80% less. A Manila nursing home with full skilled nursing runs higher, but many expat retirees find assisted living or homecare gives them the support they need at a much more sustainable budget.
