Mobility Aids & Care

Do you need mobility aids or support with your daily care during your holiday? We are happy to discuss the options with you. Some mobility aids are provided as standard in our holiday homes, while others can be added to your booking or rented externally. In many situations, we can also help arrange care during your stay.

As every care situation is different, we always look at your individual needs and what is possible. If you have specific care requirements, we therefore recommend contacting us before booking.

Which mobility aids are provided as standard in the accommodation?

All of our holiday homes are wheelchair accessible and have a number of standard adaptations.

Each property includes, among other things:

  • threshold ramps at the exterior doors
  • a largely threshold-free, single-level layout
  • an adapted master bedroom with sufficient space to move around
  • two electrically adjustable single beds, one of which has a height-adjustable function
  • a wheelchair-accessible bathroom with an adapted toilet
  • a riser recliner chair in the living room

The exact facilities may vary between the Polderhuisjes and Poldervillas. That is why we have created an overview for each holiday home showing the available adaptations and facilities.

View the facilities in each holiday home here.

Which additional mobility aids can I rent and what are the costs?

Do you need additional aids during your stay? Some aids are available to rent directly from us. Other aids can be arranged through external suppliers.

These may include, for example, a patient hoist, shower/toilet chair or other aids that you also use at home.

We have put together a separate overview of the available aids and their prices. Click here.

Can’t you find the aid you need in the overview? Please feel free to contact us. We will be happy to see whether we can arrange the aid you need for your stay.

How can I reserve mobility aids for my stay?

Aids that we have available ourselves can be added directly to your booking when you reserve your holiday home.

Do you need an aid that is not listed among the available options? Please mention this when making your reservation or contact us in advance. We will discuss exactly what you need and then look at how we can arrange it for your stay.

Are you unsure whether a particular aid can be used in the holiday home? We are happy to help you with this as well.

Will the mobility aids I reserved be ready for me when I arrive?

Yes. We make sure that any aids you have reserved through us in advance are ready for you in the holiday home when you arrive. You therefore do not need to collect them yourself or arrange anything after your arrival.

This means you can use the aids you need straight away.

Is something missing during your stay or are you experiencing a problem with an aid? Please contact us. We will be happy to help.

Can I rent a mobility scooter or adapted bicycle during my stay?

Yes, this is possible. Landgoed Oud Bommenede does not rent mobility scooters or adapted bicycles itself, but there are several rental companies in the area where our guests can arrange these.

We have already arranged mobility scooters and adapted bicycles for guests several times through De Bever Verhuur in Ouddorp and Motion Mobility. De Bever Verhuur can deliver the aid to your holiday home and collect it again after your stay.

Find more information about cycling on Schouwen-Duiveland here.

Can I take a taxi from the estate?

Yes. If you need a taxi during your stay that can also transport a wheelchair, you can contact Taxi De Vlieger, a local taxi company that offers wheelchair transport.

You can book your journey directly with the taxi company. We recommend booking in good time, especially if you need transport on a specific day or at a specific time.

Can I receive home care during my holiday?

Yes, in many situations it is possible to receive care in your holiday home during your stay. We are in contact with local home care organisations as well as a group of self-employed care professionals who can provide care during a holiday.

If you tell us what kind of care you need, we can discuss with the care providers what may be possible during your stay.

We will do our best to arrange the care you need, but we cannot guarantee availability in advance.

This depends, among other things, on your care needs, the period of your stay and the availability of suitable care professionals.

If you have complex or intensive care needs, we therefore recommend contacting us before booking.

What types of care can be provided during my stay?

In many situations, the personal care you are used to receiving at home can also continue during your holiday.

This may include support with:

  • getting in and out of bed
  • washing and personal care
  • getting dressed and undressed
  • using the toilet
  • other daily personal care and activities

There may also be options for more specialised or nursing care. Whether this can actually be arranged during your stay depends on the specific care activities required, your personal situation and the availability of qualified care professionals.

Do you need nursing procedures, intensive care or several care visits per day, for example? Please contact us before booking. We are happy to discuss your care needs with you first and then explore what may be possible.

We are often unable to arrange 24-hour care, as this requires sufficient suitable care professionals to be available.

How do I arrange care in advance?

Do you need care during your holiday? Please let us know as early as possible.

We will then send you a few questions about your situation, the care you receive at home and the support you will need during your stay.

Based on this information, we will look at which care providers would be best placed to handle your request. Depending on your situation, this may be a local home care organisation, self-employed care professionals from our network, or several providers at the same time.

Once we know what options are available, we will contact you again to discuss them.

Once the care has been arranged, the relevant care provider will also contact you directly before your stay to make the practical arrangements with you.

How far in advance do I need to request care or mobility aids?

For aids that we have available ourselves, you can indicate what you need when making your reservation. For aids that need to be rented externally, we recommend letting us know what you need as early as possible.

Do you need care during your stay? If so, we recommend contacting us before booking. The earlier we know about your care needs, the more time we have to contact suitable care professionals.

This is particularly important if you need specialised care, several care visits per day or if you are staying during a busy holiday period.

What does care cost during my holiday?

The cost of care varies depending on the situation and depends, among other things, on the type of care, the number of care visits and how the care is arranged.

Landgoed Oud Bommenede does not charge any additional fees or commission for the care provided. Any costs for care are charged by the care provider or care professional themselves.

Before the care is arranged, we will discuss with you which provider can deliver the care and how payment or reimbursement will be handled.

Is the cost of care covered by my health insurance?

Whether care during your holiday is covered depends on your personal situation, any relevant care entitlement, your health insurance and how the care is arranged. We therefore cannot guarantee in advance that the costs will be covered by your health insurer. If you need care during your stay, we will work with you to determine how it can best be arranged. For certainty about reimbursement, we recommend contacting your own health insurer or the organisation through which your care is funded before your stay.
