Caring Together is an association which is licensed to work throughout the Comunidad Valenciana but to date our activity is confined largely to the province of Alicante. This is on the Mediterranean coast of Spain with considerable interests in tourism and retirement. Manufactures of note include chocolate, carpets, shoes, marble & wine. There are large areas devoted to horticulture with the result that oranges, lemons & tomatoes along with many beautifully fresh vegetables are available inexpensively all year round. Fishing ports along the coast are organised so that restaurants are able to serve fish & shellfish caught the same day.

Our focus is on end-of-life care, without distinction as to race, nationality, creed or language. We have been involved in terminal care since 1996, subject only to availability of funds and suitably qualified staff. We’ve accumulated a great deal of experience on how to make best use of existing services and how to supplement those services to help people who request assistance at the end of life. Contact and details of our registration with provincial authorities are on the home page. We do our best to support their carers, too. Respite for exhausted carers is part of our programme.
