HOME WHAT ARE WE DOING? ABOUT US SUPPORT US CONTACT NEWS PARTNERSHIPS 24/7 availability 24/7 service explained in less than three minutes. Our main activity is offering the possibility, despite serious physical limitations, to live independently, possibly with your own family. We do this through our 24/7 service, a form of intensive residential support . People who use our 24/7 service have a fully adapted home . For the purchase and installation of specific aids for the home, the user (also known as the budget holder) can request an intervention from the VAPH. Such aids increase the user's independence. Moreover, all our adapted houses and apartments are located in a cluster of twelve to fifteen houses spread in an ordinary residential area. The neighborhood is also sometimes the center of our non-profit organization. Assistants are permanently available in this center. All homes are located at a maximum distance of five hundred meters from the center. The users can call an assistant permanently, day and night, whenever they need support. They use a portable call system for this. The support varies from assisting with eating to personal care and toilet visits. The users themselves determine how this help is given and at what time. This type of support is also known as 'ADL assistance', where ADL stands for 'Activities of Daily Living'.
