Nighttime homecare for the dying

What is nighttime homecare?

The volunteers will be able to help with personal care, reading or monitoring. Nighttime homecare gives relatives the opportunity to rest or to get a good night's sleep. The volunteers will not perform any medical or nursing activities or heavy domestic work.

* The reimbursement is for the following treatments taken together:

Statutory personal contribution

There is no statutory personal contribution for nighttime homecare. However, we reimburse the costs up to a maximum amount per year. Are the costs of the homecare higher than the maximum amount that we reimburse for the various treatments mentioned above, taken together? Then you'll have to pay the rest yourself.

Excess

You will not have any policy excess for costs that are reimbursed under the supplementary insurance.

Who may provide this type of care?

The night home care may be provided by volunteers from an organisation that is affiliated to the Netherlands association of volunteers for the provision of palliative terminal care (VPTZ Nederland)). See the website for VPTZ Nederland to find an organisation near you.
