Assisted living (Wmo)
What is it?
Sheltered housing is intended for vulnerable residents over the age of 18 who are unable to live independently due to (highly) complex psychological or psychosocial problems and (severe) management issues. In sheltered housing, you live in an institution where supervision and guidance are provided. The Nijmegen Municipal Authority is responsible for access to sheltered housing. This is regulated by the Social Support Act (Wmo).
Protected Home is intended for vulnerable residents over the age of 18 who, due to serious psychological or psychosocial problems, need guidance at home, 24/7 availability and/or accessibility, and the support of the group in order to be able to live independently.
How does it work?
You may be eligible for Protected Living or Protected Home if you have a wide range of problems. The municipality of Nijmegen is the central municipality for our municipality. The GGD Gelderland-Zuid (Municipal Health Service) is responsible for assessing eligibility for Protected Living or Protected Home. They will assess whether you are eligible for this, given your situation.
