Informal care in Zundert municipality
Many people care for a family member, friend or neighbour. They help and support with housework, personal care, transport, money matters and so on. You have a personal bond with each other. Mantel care is very valuable and that is why Mantelzorg Zundert helps you, so that your life remains in balance.

Mantelzorg: ‘Gooi je mantel open, maak je zorgen zichtbaar’
Mantelzorg wordt vaak niet herkend – niet door de omgeving, maar vooral niet door de mantelzorger zelf. De mantel staat symbool voor alles wat met zorg meekomt: warmte, plichtsgevoel, vermoeidheid, loyaliteit. Soms voelt hij comfortabel, soms drukt hij zwaar op je schouders. Surplus nodigt mensen uit om die mantel “open te gooien” – om zorg zichtbaar te maken en erkenning te vinden. Want door het te delen, wordt de last al een klein beetje minder. We openen graag het gesprek over mantelzorg verder – binnen gezinnen, buurten en gemeenten.
Campaign out.love
If you are a carer, you do it out of love. For the other person, because you give. Because you love. Because you love. Because the other person is important to you. So you care. out.of.love. You express love through those little moments, by being there AND helping. But when does your own love go out? Do you stop loving yourself or the other for a while? Do you express yourself then? Out of your love. For yourself. For the other person. Because you do it, out of love. In the out.of.love campaign, four carers tell their stories in the out.of.love podcast.
Yara
Yara is a carer for her 19-year-old sister. She has Dravet syndrome, which makes her both mentally and physically disabled and suffers from epileptic seizures. She cares for her out of love, but sometimes that love is out for a while. You can listen to her whole story in the podcast.
Anton
Anton is a carer for both his mother and his wife, who is dependent on his care for many things due to her severe rheumatism. He does this out of love, but sometimes that love runs out - especially when Anton then no longer gets around to doing things for himself. You can listen to his whole story in the podcast.
Thea
Thea is a carer for her two sons, both of whom have Leigh syndrome. This is a severe metabolic disease in which brain cells are damaged because they lack energy. Thea is a carer out of love, but sometimes the love is out for a while. You can listen to her whole story in the podcast.
Simone
Simone is a carer for both her mother and mother-in-law, both of whom have dementia. For Simone, this is no problem at all, as her parents were always there for her as well. She does it out of love, but sometimes that love is also out for a while. You can listen to her whole story in the podcast.
