ARTICLE 38 - Exclusion criteria and refusal of care

    Exclusion criteria Vani Zorg is an institution that offers all types of care, in principle to all clients. However, there are a few exceptions to the rule that are included in the exclusion criteria. It will be assessed on the basis of the exclusion criteria whether Vani Zorg takes care of this client. An individual assessment is therefore made each time. If a client who is already in care approaches the 'upper limit', it will be considered whether transfer to a suitable care facility is necessary. Exclusion criteria and upper limit of care However, with a view to providing responsible care, the following exclusion criteria are used. Excluded are clients:
    with problematic, ie. very disruptive behavior for the environment of which it has been established that this behavior is of a long-term nature and cannot be influenced; with a need for (very) intensive personal guidance that extends beyond the regular guidance available; who are very violent towards themselves and/or others; who are verbally very aggressive; who do not want to accept the help of Vani Zorg.
    Working conditions and physical strain (Working Conditions Act)
    The client's home must contain essential facilities such as heating, gas, water and electricity. It must also be suitable for placing and using necessary (nursing) aids, such as a high-low bed. The care providers perform their work in an ergonomically responsible manner, based on the standards of the Working Conditions Act. The following is especially necessary to prevent physical complaints from caregivers. When helping on the bed, the bed must be adjustable (at hip height). Aids may be required for each situation. The caregiver can instruct the client or caregiver to borrow or rent aids to make this possible; When helping on the bed, the client must be reachable at arm's length on both sides of the bed; There must be sufficient room to move in the room or shower to carry out caring actions responsibly; For work below hip height or below shoulder height, adjustments may be necessary per situation.

The client can be temporarily assisted by two caregivers at the same time if: is missing to assist; No lifting aids can be used. The conditions for this are that this care can be organized and that there is a prospect of a structural solution.

ARTICLE 39 - Hygiene and safety.

    The client informs the care provider of information that may be important for hygiene and safety. The care providers work on the basis of hygiene guidelines of the organization. Vani Zorg makes a copy of the hygiene guidelines available to the client at the client's request. Vani Zorg can (temporarily) refuse the care if there are poor hygienic conditions, as a result of which the health and safety of the care provider is threatened. Vani Zorg can mediate between the client and the other authorities to ensure that the situation improves. In this way, the care commitment can continue. General safety facilities must be present in the home, including a shower bath mat, rubber caps under the chair or stool, no loose rugs, safe electrical wiring and sockets. If the caregiver feels threatened by a pet he/she will look for a satisfactory solution in consultation with the client, so that he/she can continue to perform the work properly.

ARTICLE 40 - Materials.

    The care providers need safe materials for their work, if these materials are not available, the care providers cannot perform the work.

ARTICLE 41 - Undesirable behavior Vani Zorg's policy is aimed at guaranteeing employees a safe working environment. Sexual intimidation, aggression or violence against a care provider can be a reason not to start or to revise the care and services.

ARTICLE 42 - Refusal of care. Failure by the client to comply with the above-mentioned specific conditions (Article 10) may lead to Vani Zorg refusing to commence, prematurely ending or reducing the scope of the care and services (if further implementation is not reasonably Vani Zorg may be requested).

ARTICLE 43 - Reporting code for domestic violence, child abuse and elder abuse The mandatory reporting code for domestic and child abuse includes elder abuse, child abuse and domestic violence. Vani Zorg has a reporting code for domestic violence, child abuse and elder abuse.

The aim of the mandatory reporting code is that institutions intervene more often, more quickly and more adequately if there are suspicions or signs of domestic violence, child abuse and abuse of the elderly. The Inspectorate for health care, education, youth care and security and justice checks whether organizations and self-employed persons have a reporting code and whether they promote its use and knowledge.

ARTICLE 44 - Care and Compulsion Act Characteristic of the Care and Coercion Act is the question whether involuntary care can possibly be applied, depending on the diagnosis (PG or intellectual disability) of the client (does the client belong to the group to which the law applies) and not from where the client is located.

The law therefore applies in all nursing homes, care homes, hospitals, organizations that provide care to people with intellectual disabilities and home care organisations. In principle, employees of Vani Zorg do not apply any freedom-restricting measures in the home situation of clients. As a rule, Vani Zorg focuses on the timely identification of possible risks.
