Need help with housework?

If you find it difficult to apply for support yourself, ask a family member or friend to help you. You can also ask an independent client support worker from U Centraal to help you with the application. Look at the website of You Central for more information. 

There are two options:

1. 1. The municipality of Utrecht will arrange support for you. This is called care in kind (ZIN).
   2. You purchase support yourself with a personal budget (pgb). You will then have to deal with a number of requirements. You must conclude a care agreement with the care provider from whom you purchase the support and you must keep the administration yourself. 

More information can be found on the website page Care in kind or personal budget.

If you receive support from the Wmo, you will pay a monthly contribution yourself. For more information about this, see the website of the municipality of Utrecht or on the website of the Central Administration Office. A number of health insurers will reimburse part of this amount or the entire amount. Contact your health insurer to see what will be reimbursed. 

The municipality of Utrecht works together with four organizations: 

• Docura Home Care
• Emile Home Care
• Tzorg
• Care Watch BV

Which organization will help you depends on the neighborhood you live in.
