Six Reasons Families Stay With Solwen
Vetted, Trained Helpers
Every aide is background-checked and trained before their first visit.
Scheduling That Bends
Half-days, full days, or around-the-clock — built around your family's reality.
Dignity at Every Stage
Care that assists without diminishing — the senior's comfort and preferences lead.
Caregiver Continuity
A designated primary aide maintains the relationship, reducing disruption and building familiarity.
Transparent Communication
Families receive honest updates after each visit — no vague reassurances.
Local Taipei Knowledge
Our team knows the city's transit, medical facilities, and neighbourhoods — useful in real situations.
A Team That Understands Aging
Solwen helpers are selected for experience working alongside older adults and trained to understand how needs shift with age. From supporting safe movement around the home to knowing when to step back and simply listen, our team brings both competence and sensitivity to every engagement.
- Onboarding includes elder mobility and communication training
- Aides briefed on individual preferences before each placement
- Ongoing guidance from care coordinator and senior care lead
Focused on the Home Environment
Unlike institutional care, Solwen operates within the elder's own space — where they are most comfortable. This context shapes how our helpers approach every task.
Planned, Not Improvised
Each engagement begins with an in-home assessment so that helpers arrive informed, not guessing. Routines are agreed in advance with the family and adjusted as circumstances change.
A Structured Approach to Daily Care
Good care does not happen by accident. Solwen's process — from initial family conversation through to ongoing coordination — is designed to keep everyone aligned and the senior comfortable.
- Initial assessment visit before service begins
- Written care brief shared with helper
- Post-visit summary communicated to family
- Periodic coordinator check-in for ongoing arrangements
Accessible, Responsive Support
Questions get answered. Concerns are taken seriously. Solwen's coordinators maintain an open line with every family — not just during the setup phase, but throughout the entire arrangement. If something does not feel right, you are encouraged to say so.
- Direct contact with your care coordinator
- Office hours Monday–Saturday for enquiries
- Helper replacement available if the match does not feel right
You Are Not Left to Figure It Out Alone
Families often come to us with little experience navigating elder care. We walk through the options clearly and at a pace that suits you — no jargon, no pressure.
Transparent Pricing, No Hidden Additions
The price you see is the price you pay. Service tiers are clearly defined so families can choose the level of support that fits their current situation — and adjust when things change.
Clear, Honest Pricing
Solwen offers three distinct service tiers with NT$ pricing stated upfront. Starting from NT$6,600 for daytime companionship visits, families can begin with what is needed now and adapt as circumstances evolve.
- No hidden consultation or administrative fees
- Ability to step up or scale back as needs change
- Family retains input into care decisions throughout
What Families Notice Over Time
The most consistent feedback from Solwen families is not about any single visit — it is about a quiet, gradual shift. Seniors become more comfortable with the arrangement. Families feel less anxious about the gaps in their own presence. The relationship between elder and helper develops into something that resembles genuine friendship.
- Reduced isolation for the senior
- Greater peace of mind for working family members
- Safer, more supported daily routines

What Sets Us Apart
The Solwen Difference
Relationship-First Model
We do not treat aides as interchangeable. Matching helper temperament to the senior's personality is a deliberate part of our process — not an afterthought.
Designed for the Home
Our service is built specifically for in-home settings — not adapted from institutional care frameworks. The approach, the training, and the expectations are all calibrated for domestic life.
No Pressure, Ever
We do not push families towards higher-tier services or more hours than are actually needed. Our aim is a good fit, not a larger arrangement. Families appreciate that distinction.
Mandarin & English
Our coordination team communicates in both Mandarin and English — which matters for international families and overseas relatives managing care from abroad.
