Informal care support
Are you caring for a family member, friend or neighbour who is ill or has a long-term disability? If so, you are an informal carer. Is informal care weighing you down? If so, informal care support may be a solution for you.
Do you need informal care support?
Support can be provided in the form of activities for people in the same situation, practical support or temporary takeover of care. For support you can contact Team Mantelzorg Amaryllis.
Activities for people in the same situation
Support can be provided in the form of activities for people in the same situation. For example:
- An informal care café.
- Meetings for young informal carers.
- An activity around informal carer’s day.
Practical support
Practical support can be offered. For example:
- Support on regulation issues.
- Help with filling in forms.
Temporary takeover of informal care
Support can be provided by temporarily having the informal care taken over by a volunteer or caregiver. This is also known as ‘substitute care’ or ‘respite care’. Substitute care can be provided at your home, or in the form of a (short-term) stay in a (guest) flat. A stay can be offered on a regular basis. For example, 1 weekend a month or 1 day a week. A stay can also be offered once-only. For example, for a day out, holiday or planned hospitalisation.
