Family care is important for older people who are in need of some kind of care and who live in their own home. Sometimes support from services for family caretakers is essential for them to continue caring. The existing possibilities to get this support are not sufficiently available in the Netherlands: if someone is in need of support at the emotional, practical or material level, services are scarce. In order to change this situation, some recommendations are made. A change in attitude towards family caregiving is the most important one.
家庭照料对于那些需要某种照料且居住在自己家中的老年人来说非常重要。有时，来自家庭照料者服务机构的支持对于他们能够继续照料至关重要。在荷兰，获得这种支持的现有可能性并不充分：如果有人在情感、实际或物质层面需要支持，相关服务很匮乏。为了改变这种状况，提出了一些建议。其中最重要的是改变对家庭照料的态度。
