MantelzorgNL
MantelzorgNL is an independent non-profit
organisation that stands up for people who are
committed to help a family member, friend or
neighbour.
For that reason, MantelzorgNL connects persons and
organisations, and offers information, advice and
support to informal caregivers (mantelzorgers).
Of paramount interest for the
mantelzorgers
is that they
can provide and arrange the care they give in a way that
suits them and enables them to combine caring with
other activities. Our organisation cooperates with
almost 450 partner organisations and pressure groups.

Lessons from corona
Care givers have no position
•
Government approach of dealing with corona was
institutional. Not about caring at home:
❖
No attention
❖
No appreciation
❖
No recognition
❖
No priority, in moments of scarcity
(testing, personal protection or
vaccination)
•
Lot of frustration

Austerity measures
Budget cuts are needed
- Costs of elderly care will almost double from
€18
bn. (2023)
to
€ 37
bn. 2040
- lower growth on care spending
- no/ little growth in staff
- more care at home, less institionalised care
- new government 2024: faces budgets cuts up to
€
18bn.
