Dutch care navigation for internationals across the Netherlands

Embassy, court, and corporate families face CIZ forms, Wlz and Wmo rules, and eigen bijdrage letters in a language they do not live in. Shepherds Oud Care gives you a named Care Guide who explains the system and coordinates next steps — in English.

Active across the Netherlands — guided care navigation for families nationwide.

A Care Guide calls you within 24 hours.

Why this niche matters

Free government cliëntondersteuning and most directories are Dutch-first. Directories stop at listings. We stay with you from first call through placement and 7 / 30 / 90-day follow-up — the human accountability loop directories cannot copy.

Dutch care terms we translate for you

  • CIZ — assessment body for long-term care indication
  • Wlz — Long-term Care Act (heavy / continuous care)
  • Wmo — Social Support Act (municipal support at home)
  • PGB — personal budget to arrange care yourself
  • Eigen bijdrage — your co-payment
  • Zorgkantoor — regional care office that contracts providers

What you get

  • Guided journey — not a directory
  • Free for families; paid by participating providers (disclosed openly)
  • One Care Guide from intake through follow-up
  • Coverage across the Netherlands
