Stichting de Passerel

What Stichting de Passerel does

Stichting de Passerel is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) providing care and support services to children, youth, and adults with intellectual, physical, and multiple disabilities across the municipalities of Apeldoorn, Epe, and Voorst. The organization operates more than 14 physical locations delivering four integrated service lines: child, youth, and family support (including early intervention center Doggersbank, after-school care BSO Aventurijn, day treatment Toermalijn, and outpatient guidance Transparant); home and community-based support; residential living (including Brinklaan, Sint Maartensweg, De Horsten, Homerus, and De Nieuwe Loine); and work and day activities delivered through social enterprises such as Het Werkcafé, Het Atelier, De Buurtwinkel, Mode & co Epe, De Kruidentuin, De Boerderij, and De Ventwagen.

Care delivery relies on established methodologies (Op Eigen Benen, Triple C, LACCS, Drienamiek, Ervaar Het Maar, Geef Me De Vijf) and multidisciplinary teams rather than proprietary technology platforms. The sole digital dependency referenced is the CarenZorgt platform, which allows families to access care plans and daily reports.

De Passerel is funded through Dutch government healthcare schemes — WLZ for long-term care, WMO for social support, and Jeugdwet for youth services — disbursed via personal budgets (PGB), care in kind (ZIN), and full package at home (VPT) mechanisms, with individual client contributions administered by CAK. The organization generates supplementary operating income through social-enterprise revenues at its shops, cafés, farms, and hospitality venues. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals flow from healthcare brokers (zorgbemiddelaars), municipalities, schools, and community partners, with information disseminated through the de-passerel.nl website, Facebook, the Passages magazine, and Podcast Studio De Passerel. The foundation is governed by a board led by Bestuurder Rob de Breij, with Petra van Dijk and Elmar Hesselink serving as Managers Zorg.
