Do you live in a care home?

If you live in a care home, such as a nursing home or a psychiatric institution, you pay a personal contribution towards your care and accommodation to the CAK. The amount of this contribution depends on your circumstances and the length of your stay. If you wish to be eligible for RegelRecht, we need to know your remaining income after you have paid the personal contribution to the CAK. For example, suppose you receive a Wajong benefit and pay a few hundred euros a month in personal contribution. The amount remaining for your other expenses must not exceed the standards for residential care set out in the table ‘Standards for residential care > 21 years’.
