Support from informal care coach
Caring for another person takes up a lot of your time and energy. We therefore think it is important that you also think about yourself. The support of an informal care coach can help you with this. An informal care coach provides a listening ear and can provide emotional and practical support.
Consider, for example:
- Dealing with the current situation.
- Confrontation and dealing with feelings.
- Loneliness and isolation.
- Feelings of helplessness and guilt.
- Referral to other support/activities.
- Solution-oriented thinking.
Our informal care coaches are reliable and trained. The informal care coaches are supervised and trained by a Surplus coordinator.

This support is offered by Mantelzorg Moerdijk.
This involves scheduling a one-time home visit with a volunteer home administrative assistant.
This person will work with you to put your records in order and make sure there is a good record of your income and expenses. It is important to note that volunteer administrative home help does not weekly or monthly will keep your records. It is therefore up to yourself and/or the professional Guidance to arrange appropriate aftercare.
