Personal care

Personal care is help with daily physical care: washing or showering, getting dressed, looking after your skin and hair, and other tasks that no longer work on your own. Our staff come to your home, in your familiar surroundings in Nijmegen or the Rijk van Nijmegen region. They take their time and always work with respect for your dignity and your privacy — with us, personal care is never a production line.

This care is there for adults who cannot fully look after themselves, for a short time or for longer, for example because of dementia, an intellectual disability or mental vulnerability. With personal care in particular, trust is essential. That is why we work with familiar faces and in a culture-sensitive way: we take account of your wishes about, for example, the sex of the care worker, about faith and about habits, as far as that is possible for us.

Personal care at Divers Zorg also starts with an intake by a behavioural specialist and a support worker, followed by a period in which we get to know you. In this way we know not only what has to be done, but also how you like it to be done. We often combine personal care with other kinds of care, such as individual support or home help, so that you have everything with one organisation you trust. We evaluate the care regularly in a multidisciplinary review.

You pay for personal care at Divers Zorg with a pgb (a personal budget you use to buy your own care), which you apply for under the Wlz (the Dutch Long-Term Care Act) or the Wmo (the Dutch Social Support Act, arranged by your municipality). Would you like to know what is possible for you or for someone close to you? Call us on 06 4849 6899 — we can be reached 24/7 — or register without obligation.
