Informal Care and Home Adaptation: Discover Your Rights

Questioner

My mother is blind and my stepfather is in an electric wheelchair due to a muscular disease. They need a lot of help. They live in my stepfather's owner-occupied home that has already been completely adapted. They live downstairs where a wheelchair-friendly shower and kitchen have been built on a few meters. With a hoist on the ceiling and a special toilet. Now the upper floor is empty, there is a shower cubicle, toilet, three bedrooms and an attic room. A perfect place for me as a caregiver, because I am already with them the most. Only then they will lose everything, especially their help with the housework, but also all kinds of allowances because of their disability and all that kind of thing. It is crooked. Does anyone know a way to make this possible? They will need me more, especially my stepfather, because of his muscular disease. So I will be with them more.

Lawyer

In the case of living in connection with informal care, the home must be suitable for the size and nature of the new household. And in any case, there may be no subletting. I advise you to consult with the municipality and support your request with a request from the general practitioner and information from the treating physician/specialist.
