You care for your loved one — we care together with you
As a family member or informal carer, you are often the first to see that help is needed. On this page you can read what Divers Zorg can do for you and your loved one.
Four things that are good to know
Arranging care for someone you love raises questions. This is how we work — and what that means for you.
You may register your loved one
Do you see that your loved one needs care or support? You do not have to wait until he or she takes that step. You may register your loved one on their behalf — by phone or with the application form. Not sure which care fits? The care guide (zorgwijzer) helps you on your way.
One regular point of contact
Your loved one gets a personal support worker: one familiar face who knows the situation well. That is good for you as a family member too — you always know who to turn to with questions about the support.
Day activities give you room as well
Do you care for your loved one as an informal carer? Then you know how demanding that can be at times. If your loved one goes to day activities (dagbesteding) for one or more parts of the day, he or she has a meaningful day — and you get some room for yourself.
Family and customs belong here
We work in a culture-sensitive way. That means we take account of your loved one's language, faith and customs — and that family is a valuable partner in the care for us, if your loved one wants that.
Questions from family and informal carers
Can I register my loved one if he or she finds that difficult?
Yes, you may register your loved one on their behalf. Fill in the application form or call us on 06 4849 6899 — we are available 24/7. We will then contact you to look at what is needed together.
Go to the application formWhat role can I play as a family member in the support?
That differs from one situation to another and depends on what your loved one feels comfortable with. Talk about your role in the first meeting — for example as the regular contact person for the personal support worker.
What does the care cost and does a personal contribution have to be paid?
The care is funded from the Wmo (the Dutch Social Support Act, arranged by your municipality), from the Wlz (the Dutch Long-Term Care Act, with an assessment from the CIZ, the national body that assesses long-term care needs) or from a pgb (a personal budget you use to buy your own care, paid out by the SVB, the bank that pays care providers from your pgb). For care from the Wlz there is a personal contribution (eigen bijdrage) via the CAK (the body that collects the personal contribution); you can calculate it at hetcak.nl. We are happy to help you find out what applies in your situation.
