Informal care

Are you providing unpaid care for an extended period to a family member, friend, or neighbor with an illness or disability? Does this allow them to continue living at home with less or no home care? Then you are a caregiver.

How does it work?

Support and compensation for informal caregivers

Informal care is unpaid, but there are various compensations for informal carers. This includes supplementary health insurance, double child benefit or a Personal Care Budget (PGB). Some healthcare costs can also be deducted from tax. You can find more information about informal care support and appreciation and about the informal care allowance on mantelzorg-kearn.nl and regelhulp.nl.
