In Delft, after receiving a positive assessment from the Dutch Care Needs Assessment Centre (CIZ) for Intensive Care (IZ), residents may opt for a Personal Budget (PGB) under the Social Support Act (Wmo) or the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz). To apply, contact the Wmo desk of the Municipality of Delft, located at Burgemeester Bruijnlaan 1. The PGB amounts to approximately €1,300 net per month for self-arranged care, such as childcare, therapy, or support from local providers like Careyn or Antes in the Delft region.
To proceed, you must:
- Draft a detailed care plan,
- Enter into a budget holder agreement, and
- Apply for drawing rights with the Social Insurance Bank (SVB).
Advantages in Delft: Flexibility to tailor care to your situation, for example, with assistance from Delft-based informal caregivers or neighborhood teams.
Disadvantages: Administrative burdens and strict municipal oversight of expenditures. Applications may be rejected if the care plan is insufficiently detailed. Annual accountability is mandatory, including receipts and invoices. Misuse may result in recovery of funds by the Municipality of Delft.
Wmo Article 41 governs PGB as an alternative to in-kind care. In case of disputes regarding your PGB history in Delft, seek legal advice via the Legal Counter (Juridisch Loket) in the city or a local lawyer specializing in social law.
