FAQ
Why should I go to the neighbourhood team with questions about growing older and not to my GP?
Your GP is mainly there for medical questions. The neighbourhood team offers you broader support. We are happy to discuss with you what you need in this phase of your life. For example, we can give you advice about living safely and independently in your own home and about healthy living. We are also happy to help you with practical matters, such as arranging help with the housework. We work together with healthcare professionals such as GPs and district nurses. We also have contact with volunteers in your neighbourhood who are happy to help you further. Together we can offer you the support you need.
How much does your help cost?
The assistance of the neighborhood team is free.
