Need help with housework?

You can apply for Wmo support from the Municipality of Utrecht. You can register via the website . Afterwards, a neighbourhood team member will contact you to determine what support you need. A plan will be drawn up, and then you will receive a decision from the municipality. This allows you to receive the right help.

If you find it difficult to arrange help yourself, you can contact an independent client support worker from U Centraal. They will help you before, during, and after applying for care. You can find more information on the U Centraal website . Of course, you can also contact the neighborhood team in your district.

There are two options:

1. 1. The municipality arranges help for you. This is called care in kind (ZIN).
   2. You purchase help yourself with a personal budget (pgb). You will then have to deal with a number of requirements. For example, you must be able to conclude a care agreement with the care provider from whom you purchase the help. You must also keep a pgb administration. 

Visit the website page on care in kind or PGB for more information.

If you receive support under the Wmo, you must pay a portion yourself each month. The amount is stated on the Municipality of Utrecht website . Some health insurers reimburse part of this or the entire amount. Please contact your health insurer for more information.

The municipality of Utrecht has selected four organizations for this purpose: 

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

The organization you will deal with depends on the neighborhood you live in. 

Also look at:

• Care in kind or personal budget
• Informal care
• Coping with illness
• Mental health problems
