Residential care organisation Charim announced it will cut 350 to 500 jobs during the period 2014-2017, out of a total of 1,800 jobs at present. Background is the major changes in the Dutch system of long term care. Under the new system, the thresholds for allowing people to enter the system will be raised, stimulating people to remain longer in their own homes.
