Housing first
A private furnished home in Davao.
SETTLE Plus housing is a private furnished home in Davao City, meant for longer independent living. It is not a care facility and not a shared room. The published planning figure is a recommended budget of $2,500 USD a month. That budget is for the home together with the included household and wellness support, not rent alone. The property, inclusions, and terms are confirmed in your written proposal before you sign.
Utilities are included with SETTLE Plus housing. The exact utility inclusions are confirmed in that same proposal. Pictures on this page are illustrative, not homes that are currently offered.
What we coordinate
Comprehensive support for all your essentials.
We offer to take care of your essentials so you can just relax.
Household assistance
Weekly housekeeping visits. Those visits also include delivery of essentials such as food and toiletries. Delivery is included. The goods themselves are a living expense unless your proposal says otherwise.
Wellness visits
Scheduled nurse wellness visits for vitals and condition checks. These are scheduled check-ins within assisted independent living, not emergency care and not a promise of a medical outcome.
Routine checkups, coordinated
Routine medical and laboratory checkups with outside providers, usually scheduled every three months.
Record keeping and family news
Transparent billing, organized records, and family updates through the online Escape Hatch platform.
Customized medication support
Medication preparation, intake tracking, and individualized medical assistance matched to each resident. Medication support is planned around your needs and the agreed care arrangements.

Accommodation
Housing charges are paid to Escape Hatch under the housing agreement. The home, inclusions, and payment terms are confirmed before booking.
Resident membership
The subscription that lets us support you during the stay. It is tied to active Escape Hatch housing, not a standalone product for housing you arrange yourself.
Personal expenses
Travel, local transport, food, personal spending, and the cost of goods stay separate. Utilities are included with SETTLE Plus housing. Optional document, legal, transport, and tech work is available on request and billed separately.
Prefer less household support?
Want the move without the extra household help?
SETTLE is independent relocation with planning, a longer-term home, and local support, without housekeeping or wellness visits. EXPLORE is a separate three-month stay if you are still deciding. Neither one leads automatically to SETTLE Plus, and SETTLE Plus does not require either of them.
