Humanitas DMH

What Humanitas DMH does

Humanitas DMH is a private Dutch care organization headquartered in Nieuwegein, founded in 1983 by parents seeking humanistic support outside the predominantly Christian institutional homes of that era. It supports approximately 3,000 clients with (mild) intellectual and multiple disabilities across nearly all of the Netherlands through four service lines: Begeleid Wonen (supported housing with 24-hour care), Ambulante Begeleiding under the Homerun sub-brand, Dagbesteding (day activities at care farms, ateliers, and work centers), and Diagnostiek & Behandeling. The organization has progressively broadened its target population beyond 'Dienstverlening aan Mensen met een Handicap' to 'Dienstverlening aan Mensen met een Hulpvraag', now serving LVB, EMB/EVMB, forensic, and autism-with-disability segments.

The organization's intellectual foundation sits on four proprietary, evidence-based care methodologies: Triple-C (Client-Coach-Competence, treating problem behavior through unmet-need fulfillment rather than control); the LACCS program for severe multiple disabilities; the HouVast family-guidance method licensed from William Schrikker Groep for parents with LVB; and ARopMaat-Plus aggression regulation treatment, co-developed with De Waag and recognized as effective by the Landelijke Commissie Justitiële Interventies in 2024. Operational delivery combines residential locations, two care farms (Beversoord, De Kleine Duiker), a work/activity center (Aksent, ~75 daily participants), an art atelier (Kunstexpress), and a gift shop (Cadeauwinkel Uniek), all functioning partly as social enterprises selling client-produced goods.

Commercially, Humanitas DMH operates on a contract-funded model under the Dutch Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo), with revenue tied to municipal care assessments, wijkteam referrals, and health insurer agreements; client intake is centralized through a Centraal Cliëntservice Bureau. Workforce spans 1,001–5,000 employees across the Netherlands. Recent strategic initiatives include the Samenkracht network-support research project with Eigen Kracht Centrale and Disability Studies in Nederland (ZonMw-funded), the new Our House inclusive housing project in RijswijkBuiten (15 studios, 2024), and continued expansion of Homerun Forensische Zorg.
