Stay independent for longer with our care at home
You're looking for home care. Temporary, for example, after surgery. Or perhaps you need long-term care. On this page, you can read:
What you can expect from us for home care
Our colleagues can help you in all kinds of situations. We believe it is important that you remain as independent as possible. So what you can do yourself, you do yourself. Do you need help to do it yourself? Or are you really unable to do it yourself? Then we are there for you. For example, we help you with your medication. With washing and dressing. And with your medical aids. Think for example of help with your stoma. Or help with changing the dressing on a wound.
Remote healthcare
It is not always necessary for us to visit you. With the right tools, you can still do many things yourself. And sometimes we can look along remotely. For example, with video calling. Or with a device that prepares medication for you at the right times. In a personal conversation, we will discuss what is best for you.
The right care
We work together with other healthcare providers. For example, the GP post. And the emergency department of the hospital. In this way, we ensure that you receive the right care as quickly as possible.
Introductory meeting
We'll discuss your specific care needs during an introductory meeting. We'll visit you at home for this. Beforehand, we'll ask you to complete a short questionnaire by email. This allows us to better understand your health and wishes. Based on this meeting, we'll determine the best solution together. If we decide to provide care, we'll create a personalized care plan for you. This plan outlines exactly what we'll do, what you can expect from us, and what we expect from you. We'll also always assess whether Mindful Movement is right for you. This 12-week exercise program supports your balance and fitness. It's a standard part of your care.
