WHEEL OF CARE, YOU PRONOUNCE IT AS: WE LOVE CARE!

Wheel of Care is a Brussels-based home care organisation that starts from a simple yet radical idea: good care takes time. In a city like Brussels, where care often feels fragmented, complex, and rushed, we saw how people increasingly fell through the cracks of the care system. Consultations became shorter, pathways less clear, and the personal story behind a care request too often faded into the background. That didn’t feel right. Care could not continue like this.

In 2017, Wheel of Care was founded from practice, not from an office. From her daily work as a midwife and nurse, founder Flora saw how great the need was for proximity, continuity, and trust in home care. She noticed how families, women, and vulnerable people in Brussels needed support that adapted to their lives, not the other way around. From that conviction, a new care model emerged: home care that is slow, human, and expert, organised in a way that supports both caregivers and clients.

Brussels is our context and our reality. A diverse city full of languages, cultures, and life stories, where home care is often extra complex. Wheel of Care therefore consciously works with home care by bicycle. By moving sustainably and locally, we remain flexible and close by, avoid traffic jams and time loss, and can spend more time on what really matters: being present with people at home. This way of working makes our care more personal, accessible, and better tailored to daily life in Brussels.

At Wheel of Care, we believe that slow care is not a luxury, but a necessary condition for quality care. Slow care means for us listening without rushing, tailoring care to the pace of the person in front of us, and allowing space for emotions, questions, and vulnerability. We combine medical and nursing care with holistic guidance, as body, mind, and context are inextricably linked. Home care is for us not a series of actions, but a relationship that grows in trust.

Today, Wheel of Care consists of a multidisciplinary team of more than thirty healthcare providers, including midwives, nurses, dietitians, psychologists, and holistic therapists. We work closely together, coordinate care interdisciplinarily, and continuously invest in further training and expertise. Not to become more complex, but to provide people in Brussels with qualitative, safe, and warm home care, tailored to their situation.

Care should not be a luxury. That is why Wheel of Care operates with a solidarity care model. Those who can afford it help to make care accessible for those who cannot. For some people, our home care is free. This is not an exception, but a conscious choice. Because we believe that care is a right and that accessible care contributes to a healthier city.

Wheel of Care is more than individual care at home. We also build connections and community. In addition to home care, we organise workshops, group moments, prenatal circles, recovery moments, and other gatherings that bring people together. We believe that care does not stop after a consultation, but continues to thrive in relationships, support, and shared experiences.

What began as a small-scale and idealistic initiative has grown into a strong and visible home care organisation in Brussels. And yet we remain true to our original compass. We continue to build on person-centred care, on supported care teams, and on a city where no one falls out of care. With attention. With expertise. With care that moves with life.

Whether you are looking for a midwife at home, nursing care at home, holistic support, or simply want to understand who we are, you are welcome. At Wheel of Care, care begins with connection. And that starts here.
