Wlz Care Profiles in Delft
For residents of Delft with long-term care needs, care profiles under the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz) are essential categories that specify the intensity and nature of 24-hour care. The Centre for Eligibility for Care (CIZ) determines your care profile, which forms the basis for care and budget through the local care office. This article, tailored to Delft, explains how it works and where to find services in the region.
What do Wlz care profiles mean for Delft?
In the Delft region, the Wlz uses care profiles to classify clients requiring permanent 24-hour care, whether at home in the city center or in a facility such as a nursing home on Phoenixstraat. There are seven profiles, ranging from basic support to intensive nursing with therapy. This standardized system ensures fair assessments and allows comparison of care needs, specifically adapted to local circumstances.
These profiles link care requirements to modules such as admission, nursing, or therapy. Whether you opt for care in kind (ZIN) or a personal budget (PGB), the profile determines the scope of care – ideal for Delft residents who prefer home care.
Legal basis for Wlz care profiles
The foundation is the Wlz, particularly Articles 3.2 and 3.3. The CIZ follows the Long-Term Care Regulation (Rlz), Annex 1, for detailed descriptions. Article 3.4 Wlz governs reassessments. The Treeknop methodology objectively evaluates domains such as mobility, self-reliance, and behavior, relevant for clients in Delft.
