Participating in society

In Heerlen willen we dat iedereen mee kan doen, met of zonder beperking. Ook vinden wij het belangrijk dat u zo lang mogelijk zelfstandig kunt blijven wonen. Soms is daar ondersteuning bij nodig, bijvoorbeeld door ouderdom, ziekte of handicap.
Wij gaan ervanuit dat u eerst zelf uw probleem probeert op te lossen. Kijk wat u kunt oplossen met uw familie, vrienden, buren en bekenden. Is dit niet genoeg? Of wilt een nieuwe aanvraag doen voor begeleiding en dagbesteding met een persoonsgebonden budget? Neem contact op met buurtteams Heerlen.

Approach

How do we work?

  • Preferably contact us by phone. We can then ask you the right questions right away. You can also fill out the online form. Please fill everything in completely.
  • Do you have no one in your area who can help you? Then you can get free help from MEE.
  • The Team WMO examines with you what request for help you have. This involves the following questions:
    • What can you still do yourself?
    • What can people around you do for you?
    • What municipal services can help you?
  • After the interview, we write a report and give you a recommendation. 
  • If so, do you need a customized facility? Make an application to the municipality.

Costs

A customized facility under the Wmo may be subject to a co-payment:

  • This personal contribution is a maximum of €21.80 per month. (2026)
  • Residents with income at the welfare level do not have to pay a co-payment. 

The Central Administrative Office (CAK) collects the co-payment. 

Description

What can you contact us for?

  • You can no longer keep your home clean (household assistance)
  • You can no longer move in and around your home (aids)
  • You can no longer travel independently in the region (transport facility)
  • You can no longer use your home normally (home modification)
  • U wilt een aanvraag doen voor dagbesteding met een persoonsgebonden budget. Heeft u deze zorg nu al, dan verandert er niets.
