Separate arrangements for care and accommodation
In a residential care home, the care provided is arranged separately from the accommodation. How this works depends on the type of care you choose:
Care and nursing
For this, you need to be eligible for wijkverpleging (district nursing). In this case, please contact the home care organisation in your municipality (in Dutch).
Help with household tasks or support with daily tasks
This type of care can be arranged via your municipality’s social services office.
