IMergenies Care, aid organization in Moncarapacho, Algarve, Portugal

Since 2021, Boutique Hotel Guesthouse-Moncarapacho has been affiliated with iMergencies Care, a help organization for extra security and safety in the Algarve.

They ensure that foreigners who do not have good command of the Portuguese language are quickly and adequately helped in their own native language.

So instead of the national emergency number 112, our affiliated customers like us can call the local iMergencies number.

iMergencies was founded about 15 years ago by a Dutchman and a Portuguese. Their office is located here in our village of Moncarapacho and is available 24/7 in case of an emergency.

Our data are known to them and they are precisely aware where we live. They work together with local and regional relief organizations such as police, fire department and ambulance.

In addition, iMergencies uses an advanced process to obtain the exact route to our home and pass this directly on to the alerted emergency service.

It is indeed the case that street names and house numbers are very difficult to find without the correct GPS coordinates. Without the help of iMergencies, you often see that ambulances or police lose a lot of valuable time because they themselves cannot find the address.

Toerist Card iMergencies
For our guests, we have concluded a special insurance policy. iMergencies provides 24/7 assistance, often in your native language, to the guests of Boutique Hotel Guesthouse-Moncarapacho who have become involved in problems due to illness or an accident.

This (mandatory) insurance is € 0.35 per person per day and is mentioned on your booking invoice. Upon arrival, you will find a special Tourist Card from iMergencies with their phone details. What a relaxing idea!

GPS Alarm Button & Tracker rental
It is also possible to request a personal alarm button from them. In emergency situations, help can be requested by pressing the alarm button and making a direct voice call and SMS. For example, if you are at the beach and feel unwell, they will immediately know where you are! Read more on their own website IMergencies.
