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
