Frequently asked questions

For people aged 16 and over with intellectual, mental health and/or social difficulties who benefit from support to take an active part in society again. The GroeiHuis is for young people aged 15 to 18. For outreach support to young people under 16, we are happy to discuss what is appropriate.

Outreach support takes place at home or in your own environment, at agreed times. Sheltered living, such as in the GroeiHuis, means that support is present or available 24 hours a day. With WLZ living you rent your own studio from Darna Care, support comes to you and there is a 24-hour on-call service.

Support is funded through the municipality (Wmo or Jeugdwet) or the Wet langdurige zorg (WLZ). For Wmo support, a personal contribution of no more than € 21,80 per month applies in 2026. Youth care is free of charge. With WLZ living, you pay the rent for your studio yourself. Read more at How it works.
