Informal care support (Wmo)
As a caregiver, you often have a lot on your plate. Caring for someone gives you satisfaction, but it can also be a burden. A good balance between caregiving tasks and, for example, work, family and free time is therefore very important.
To prevent that the informal care becomes too heavy you get out of balance inZet can support you with your informal care tasks. As caregiver you can contact inZet for information and advice, caregiver support and support for the person you support. InZet works with you to find out exactly what support you need for your care tasks. Visit the website of inZet for more information.

Independent client support
Do you have questions about care, housing, work, education or parenting? Then an independent client supporter can think along with you. They know what help is available and know the laws and rules. They can also mediate in case of complaints and problems with the municipality or care providers.
For example, they can help you by:
- Making your request for help clear.
- To help if you want to file a complaint.
- Seeking the right help.
- Making an appointment or going with you to an appointment.
The client supporters work at Adviespunt Zorgbelang and not at the municipality or a health care provider. The client supporters listen, think with you and advise. They have a duty of confidentiality. The help is free of charge. Young people can also contact the client supporters.
