Personal support, familiar and clearly organized
At Gea Thuis, many clients make use of the Home Services Scheme. This scheme enables private individuals to engage personal support for activities in and around daily life in an accessible manner. As a result, support often remains low-threshold, affordable, personal, and clear.
Gea Thuis is rooted in healthcare. Based on this background, we believe in support that not only provides practical help but also contributes to peace, well-being, and quality of life.
That is why we help you find a regular support worker with whom you feel a natural connection. Someone who suits your needs, but also your personality, rhythm, and way of life.
In addition, you have a dedicated contact person at Gea Thuis for questions and practical support throughout the process.
How does the scheme work?
When you use the scheme, the support worker works directly for you as a private individual.
Dat betekent dat u:
- makes arrangements with the support worker themselves regarding the content of the support, the times, and the remuneration
- zelf de betaling rechtstreeks aan de ondersteuner verzorgt
- een vast en vertrouwd gezicht heeft
- has plenty of room for personal customization
- maintains control over how the support is structured
The role of Gea Thuis
Gea Thuis ondersteunt u bij het vinden van een passende ondersteuner en bij een zorgvuldige start.
We support you with, among other things:
- discussing your wishes and situation
- connecting you with a support worker who might be a good fit for you
- facilitating an introduction
- making practical documents and forms available
- providing a point of contact for questions
Important to know
Gea Thuis is geen werkgever van de ondersteuner.
De ondersteuner werkt rechtstreeks voor u.
This means that you make agreements together about:
- the support
- the compensation
- and the practical implementation
Gea Thuis makes the appropriate documents and tools available to you for this purpose.
Why do many clients choose this scheme?
Veel cliënten ervaren deze regeling als een persoonlijke, prettige en overzichtelijke manier om ondersteuning thuis te organiseren.

What support falls under this?
The scheme is intended for support in and around daily life, including:
- company and personal attention
- ondersteuning buitenshuis
- support with daily routines
- help with practical matters
- lichte ondersteuning in huiselijke sfeer
What is good to know?
A number of important principles apply within the scheme:
- een ondersteuner mag in de basis op maximaal 3 dagen per week voor dezelfde particulier werken
- Rules may apply regarding continued payment during illness

Cliënten en ondersteuners kunnen hier samen afspraken over maken bij het bepalen van een passende vergoeding.
Gea Thuis makes practical documents available for this purpose to provide support.
What has changed as of 2026?
As of January 1, 2026, changes will occur for a specific group of care providers, namely support staff working via a personal budget based on an employment contract. Broader social security rights will apply to this group.
Good to know: This change does not apply generally to all support providers within the scheme. For support that is not provided via a personal budget, nothing usually changes in practice.
What are the costs?
The total costs consist of two parts:
- de vergoeding van uw ondersteuner
- the service costs of Gea Thuis
Your supporter's compensation
You agree with the supporter on what fee is appropriate, and you pay this directly to the supporter.
De servicekosten van Gea Thuis
Naast de vergoeding van de ondersteuner betaalt u servicekosten voor de dienstverlening van Gea Thuis.
Deze dienstverlening bestaat onder andere uit:
- personal advice
- connecting you with a suitable supporter
- facilitating an introduction
- making documents and forms available
- providing a point of contact for questions
Depending on your situation, you can choose between:
- maandelijkse servicekosten (vaak de meest gekozen en voordelige optie)
- een eenmalige servicevergoeding
(een hoger bedrag, dat vooraf wordt betaald)
Waarom kiezen veel cliënten voor het serviceabonnement?
Met het serviceabonnement profiteert u van
- een vast aanspreekpunt
- support with questions
- help with a careful start
- clear documents and practical clarity
- the possibility to fall back on support when needed
Rekenvoorbeelden
Om u een goed beeld te geven van de totale maandelijkse investering, vindt u hieronder enkele voorbeelden op basis van veelvoorkomende situaties.
In these examples, we assume:
- an hourly rate agreed upon by clients and support workers (we often see between €18.00 and €21.00. (For this example, we will use €19.00 per hour))
- Fixed subscription costs of €82.80 per month for deployment of up to and including 12 hours.
- an additional subscription fee for higher commitment, based on the scope of the support
| Example situation | Your investment per hour | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 12 hours | Average of 3 hours of support per week | € 25,90 | € 310,80 |
| Support several times a week | € 25,90 | € 621,60 | |
| 35 hours | € 25,90 | ||
| 50 hours | € 25,90 | € 1295,00 | |
| Intensive and versatile support | € 25,90 | € 1942,00 | |
| 100 hours | Very frequent and structural support | € 25,90 | € 2590,00 |
Do you require less than 12 hours of support? That is perfectly fine; simply use Gea Basis. Fortunately, smaller support requests are also possible. You can also apply for your own support worker who visits you for less than 12 hours per month. The monthly costs then consist of a single fixed service fee plus the support worker's agreed hourly rate (you determine the number of hours yourself).
Bijvoorbeeld uitgaande van een uurloon van *€ 19,00
- For 8 hours of support per month: 8 x €19.00 = €152.00 wages €82.20 service contribution makes a total of €234.20 per month.
- For 4 hours of support per month: 4 x €19.00 = €76.00 wages €82.20 service contribution makes a total of €158.20 per month.
You benefit most from the low hourly rate with a commitment of 12 hours or more per month (regular), but a smaller commitment is of course also possible.
Good to know: These examples provide an indication of the possible monthly costs. The stated hourly rate*€19.00 is in line with market rates and serves as a guideline. The actual effort, compensation, times, and agreements are always tailored to your personal situation, wishes, and support needs in consultation between you and the support worker. Examples include taxes.
