Short stay
Thanks to short stays, care-dependent people receive the necessary care during an adapted stay in an institution or home. This allows the caregiver to catch their breath. Short stays are also possible in the CM care homes Ter Duinen in Nieuwpoort and Hooidonk in Zandhoven.
CM pays half the daily rate with a maximum of 15 euros per day.
- For stays up to and including December 31, 2023, up to a maximum of 28 days per year.
- For stays from January 1, 2024* you can receive a refund of up to 420 euros for day care , short stay and night care together.
