Tell us what's needed
Share your relative's needs, location and budget. It takes a few minutes, wherever you are in the world.
We match and introduce
We look for a suitable local provider and make the introduction for you.
We stay in touch
We check in with you and the provider so you have peace of mind from a distance.
Reviews you can rely on
We're new, so there are no family reviews on Tendawell yet, and we won't fill the gap with made-up ones. When families start using providers through us, we'll invite them to share their experience. Every review will be checked before it goes live.
First-hand only
Reviews must come from the person who received care, or a relative or friend closely involved, about care in the last 12 months.
Connection checked
Before publishing, we contact the reviewer to confirm how they are connected to the provider.
Good and bad published
We publish critical reviews as well as positive ones, as long as they follow our rules.
Right of reply
Providers can reply to a review, and can ask us to look again if they think it breaks our rules.
Nothing bought
Providers cannot pay for reviews, offer gifts for them, or pay to remove them. Partners are treated the same.
Never rewritten
We do not edit a review to change its meaning. If something must be removed for legal reasons, we say so.
How we check our partners
We're launching in Lagos and Enugu on 23 November 2026. Before any provider gets the Tendawell Partner badge, we plan to:
Registration
We ask for company (CAC) registration details and, where it applies, registration with the state health regulator.
Qualified staff
For nursing care, we ask to see that nurses hold a current licence from the Nursing and Midwifery Council of Nigeria.
A conversation
We speak with the provider about how they recruit, train and supervise carers, and what happens if a carer cannot attend.
References
We ask for references from families or organisations they have supported.
Written terms
Partners agree our partnership terms, including how they keep families updated and handle concerns.
Your feedback
After care starts we check in with families, and we review partners if concerns are raised.

What is Tendawell?
We help families find and arrange care for a relative in Nigeria, whether you live in Nigeria or abroad. You can search our directory yourself, or tell us what your relative needs and we will introduce you to a suitable local provider.
What does Tendawell cost families?
Consultation is always free. You pay a one-off ₦20,000 only once care starts. Searching our directory and getting advice from us costs nothing. If we match you with a provider and care with that provider actually starts, you pay Tendawell a one-off fee of ₦20,000. There is no fee if we don't find a match or if care doesn't start. We'll send you payment details once care has started. If care ends within the first 7 days, we refund the ₦20,000 in full. Our fee is separate from the cost of care, which you agree and pay directly with the provider.
Are all the providers on this site checked by Tendawell?
No. Our directory lists providers from publicly available information so you can see what is out there. Only providers marked with the Tendawell Partner badge have agreed partnership terms with us. Always check credentials yourself before arranging care; our question checklist can help.
Do you publish reviews or ratings?
Not yet. We will only publish reviews from people who have really used a provider, after we have checked their connection to that provider. Until then every listing says "No family reviews yet". We never invent reviews, scores or awards. How reviews will work.
How does Tendawell make money?
Partner providers pay us a one-off referral fee of 10% of the client's first month, and only after care has actually started. Families pay a one-off ₦20,000 fee, also only once care starts. Searching and advice are free, and nobody pays us if care doesn't start. More about us.
How do you check partner providers?
We are new and launching in Lagos and Enugu on 23 November 2026. Before a provider gets the Partner badge we plan to check their registration, staff qualifications and references and have a direct conversation with them. See how we check partners.
Are you a care provider?
Receive referrals from families in Nigeria and the diaspora. No upfront cost: partners pay a one-off fee only when care starts.
Looking for care work?
Carers, nurses and care workers can register with us to be matched with care providers that are hiring.
Listings are compiled from publicly available information. Inclusion is not an endorsement, recommendation or confirmation of registration unless the provider is marked Tendawell Partner. Please check credentials before arranging care. Providers can request a correction or removal by emailing carelinkngr@gmail.com.
