Sheltered accommodation
Are you or have you become unable to live independently? Or do you need a lot of help with this? Is it necessary for someone to be there for you immediately when you need help or to watch over you day and night? If so, Sheltered Accommodation may be a solution for you.
Can you temporarily no longer live independently?
Treatment or medical care
Do you require treatment or medical care? Contact your GP or doctor.
Psychosocial or psychological problems
Is living independently difficult for you, because of psychosocial or psychological problems, for example? In that case, you may be eligible for support under the Social Support Act (Wmo). Go to your local Buurt- of dorpskamer (community centre). There are Amaryllis staff members in every district or village community centre who can help you.
Support under the Social Support Act (Wmo) costs money
The local authority pays a large part of the costs. Some of the costs you pay yourself. We call this a personal contribution towards the costs.
