CuraMare

What CuraMare does

CuraMare is a non-profit healthcare foundation legally constituted as Stichting Zorg en Verpleging Goeree-Overflakkee, headquartered in Dirksland, Netherlands, and operating as the largest integrated care provider in Goeree-Overflakkee, western Voorne-Putten, and Schouwen-Duiveland. The organization delivers a full care continuum spanning home care (CuraMare Thuiszorg, Virtuele Thuiszorg, Volledig Pakket Thuis, SPAT, Persoonsalarmering), residential elderly care across four woonzorglocaties (Ebbe en Vloed, Bestenwaerd, Nieuw Rijsenburgh, De Vliedberg) plus the Het Spectrum housing complex, regional hospital services through Het Van Weel-Bethesda Ziekenhuis, geriatric rehabilitation (GRZ) and recovery care (ELV), treatment and advisory services, and respite care (Logeerzorg). CuraMare primarily serves elderly individuals requiring varying levels of support, hospital patients needing acute or specialist care, informal caregivers needing respite, and regional general practitioners requiring short-term placement options.

The organization's technology stack is built on healthcare information systems including digital client dossiers via the SDB Zorgt and Gerimedica platforms, the Mijn Van Weel-Bethesda patient portal for appointment management and medical record access, the CliëntApp for client-facing care information, and the BeterDichtbij messaging app for patient-provider communication. CuraMare's most distinctive proprietary asset is the PDL (Passiviteit van het Dagelijks Leven) methodology, originally developed in 1984 at De Samaritaan in Sommelsdijk and now certified by Stichting PDL; it structures care around seven daily-living factors (lying, sitting, washing, dressing, changing, eating/drinking, transferring) and is progressively being rolled out and (re)certified across all woonzorglocaties.

Revenue is generated through Dutch healthcare reimbursement frameworks: insured care is negotiated annually with health insurers (Zorgverzekering) covering hospital, residential, and home care services, while municipal WMO (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) funding supports social-care services such as respite care. The Van Weel-Bethesda hospital alone contributes over 1,800 direct and indirect jobs to the regional economy, and CuraMare coordinates intake through Zorgbemiddeling (care mediation) with marketing and outreach conducted via the CuraMare Podcast, social media, and regional partner meetings. As a non-profit foundation, CuraMare is self-governed through a Raad van Bestuur and Raad van Toezicht and in May 2025 formalized co-governance (co-bestuur) involving shared leadership between the board and medical staff; no parent company or external ownership has been disclosed.

Direct peers

• ZorgSaam: ZorgSaam is a regional non-profit integrated care provider in Zeeland (Zeeuws-Vlaanderen) operating a hospital (Terneuzen), elderly care facilities and home care. It is the closest Dutch peer to CuraMare in terms of scale, integrated hospital-plus-elderly-care model, and rural/island service area.
• Zorggroep Haringvliet: Regional care provider in the Hoeksche Waard area offering residential, home and social care, and a named partner in the Regionaal Coördinatiepunt ZHE alongside CuraMare. Comparable regional focus and elderly-care service mix.
• Careyn: Large Dutch non-profit providing home care, district nursing, residential elderly care and informal caregiver support across multiple regions, and a Verwijshulp ZHE partner. Directly comparable to CuraMare's CuraMare Thuiszorg and woonzorglocaties.
• Spijkenisse Medisch Centrum: Regional general hospital on Voorne-Putten, directly adjacent to CuraMare's service area and a collaboration partner (e.g., joint Ukraine humanitarian effort). Comparable as a Dutch regional hospital serving an island/sub-regional population.
• Bravis ziekenhuis: Regional general hospital formed from the merger of Lievensberg and Franciscus in West-Brabant, similar in scale and role to Het Van Weel-Bethesda Ziekenhuis as a non-academic regional hospital serving a defined catchment area.
• Cohaesie Zorg B.V. Dutch regional care provider and partner in the Regionaal Coördinatiepunt ZHE alongside CuraMare, operating residential and home care in the South Holland islands area.

• Cordaan: Major Amsterdam-based non-profit offering home care, residential elderly care, rehabilitation and specialized (including dementia) services. Comparable in service breadth but much larger and urban-focused.
• Laurens: Rotterdam-based non-profit operating residential care homes, home care, rehabilitation and palliative care. Similar integrated elderly-care portfolio to CuraMare's residential and home care operations.

Regional players

• Tergooi: Regional non-academic hospital serving the Gooi region with general, specialized and emergency care. Comparable to Het Van Weel-Bethesda as a Dutch regional general hospital, but in a different (more urban/prosperous) catchment area.
