Do you care for an extended period of time, unpaid, for a family member, friend or, for example, your neighbor with an illness or disability? Does this enable him or her to continue living at home with less or no home care? Then you are an informal caregiver.

How does it work?

Caregiver support and benefits

Informal care is unpaid, but various allowances exist for informal caregivers. These include supplementary health insurance, double child support or a Personal Budget (PGB). Also, some care expenses can be deducted from the tax. At mantelzorg-kearn.nl and regelhulp.nl you can find more information about informal care support and appreciation and about the informal care compensation.
