Care in kind or personal budget - Utrecht Neighborhood Teams

Two types of support

If you have been approved to receive care at home, you can choose from two types of support, namely:

Care in kind. The municipality of Utrecht or your health insurer chooses from whom you receive the care you need.
Personal budget. Here you choose who you want to receive support from. You have to arrange a lot yourself.

It can be quite difficult to decide which care suits you best. Would you like someone to think about this with you? Contact the neighborhood team in your neighborhood or with the organization You Central.
