De Zorgwegwijzer

De Zorgwegwijzer is a Dutch caregiving support service led by Marijke Adang, a professional mantelzorgmakelaar who helps people caring for a family member, friend or other person close to them. The service guides caregivers through the practical and often complex arrangements involved in providing ongoing care, so they do not have to manage everything alone.

Marijke helps with questions and administrative tasks related to healthcare, housing, wellbeing, finances and balancing work with caregiving. Support can include exploring available care and assistive equipment, identifying the right organisation to contact, understanding care eligibility and personal budgets, and arranging suitable services. She can also help families consider home adaptations, transport, household support, day activities and respite care.

By researching options, advising on next steps and helping coordinate arrangements, De Zorgwegwijzer aims to make the care system easier to navigate and help caregivers find support that fits their situation. The service is available to individuals and families seeking clear, practical guidance, as well as employers addressing the needs of employees who provide informal care.
