Long-term Care Act (Wlz): Who Qualifies and What You Get
Learn if you qualify for intensive home care or residential support under the Long-term Care Act (Wlz) and how to navigate the assessment process.
The Long-term Care Act (Wlz) provides intensive support for individuals who require constant supervision or specialized nursing care.
Who it's for
This scheme is designed for people who cannot manage on their own and require 24/7 supervision or intensive nursing care to ensure their safety and well-being.
What you get
Depending on your specific needs, you may receive full residential care in a specialized facility or intensive care services provided directly in your own home.
What it costs you
To access these services, you must undergo a medical assessment by the CIZ to determine your eligibility for the required level of care.
The catch to know
Even if you are approved, you should be aware that waiting lists for placement in nursing homes can be significant.
How to apply
- Arrange a medical assessment through the CIZ to establish your care needs.
- Submit your application based on the results of that assessment.
- Wait for the official decision regarding your care eligibility.
