Home care

Although your family doctor is your primary care provider, private home care organizations, called Thuiszorg, are umbrella organizations for all domestic medical services. Check with your medical insurance as it may provide partial coverage.

The Red Cross Associations (kruisverenigingen) provide home nursing care, nursing equipment, household assistance for the elderly, dietary or nutritional advice, emergency alert service and health-related courses. For more information on services go to www.icare.nl or look up “Thuiszorg” online.
