Are you in a period of temporary care and can’t access the upper floor, for example? Then a home care shower cabin might be suitable for you. In many cases, you can receive a care shower reimbursement from the municipality to reduce your costs. In this article, we try to explain the general steps for this process. The procedure for applying for a WMO reimbursement (Social Support Act) may differ slightly per municipality, but generally, there are several steps you need to follow to apply for a temporary home care shower cabin. Here is a general overview of the process:
Application Procedure for WMO Care Shower Reimbursement
Contact the Municipality: Start by contacting the municipality where you live. This can usually be done through the WMO office or the social district team. Inquire about the possibilities of WMO reimbursement and ask how you can submit an application.
Submit Application: Fill out the application form for the WMO care shower reimbursement. You can usually obtain this form from the municipality or download it from their website. An example of this can be found on the website of Delft Municipality. Provide your municipality with as much detail as possible about why you need a temporary home care shower cabin and what limitations you experience
when using the existing shower facilities in your home.
Medical Declaration: In many cases, the municipality will ask for a medical declaration. This is a statement from a doctor or specialist confirming that the temporary home care shower cabin is medically necessary. Consult your general practitioner or treating physician to obtain this declaration
Investigation and Assessment: After receiving your application, the municipality will conduct an investigation to determine if you are eligible for the reimbursement. A municipal employee may visit your home to assess the situation and carry out the assessment. This employee can also advise on possible alternative solutions.
Decision and Approval: Based on the investigation and assessment, the municipality will make a decision about your application. You will receive written notification of this decision. If your application is approved, the municipality will indicate which reimbursement is granted and how you will receive the reimbursement.
It is important to note that the exact procedure may vary depending on the municipality where you live.
