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 helps you act fast: short triage, a clear next path, a checklist, and a Haaglanden provider directory — in English.
Active in Haaglanden — crisis triage and directory for families.
Free for families. No login to start triage. Call or email when you need a person.
Why this niche matters
Free government cliëntondersteuning and most directories are Dutch-first. Directories stop at listings. We start with triage and next steps you can track — then help you contact local providers from your case, with clear fee disclosure.
