Stichting Lievegoed

What Stichting Lievegoed does

Stichting Lievegoed is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Bilthoven that provides healthcare and social care services to children, youth, and adults with intellectual disabilities, physical disabilities, non-congenital brain injury (NAH), psychiatric conditions, and addiction issues — frequently in combination. Its service portfolio spans residential care, day programs, protected housing (e.g., De Meranti in Haarlem), support for independent living, and reintegration-oriented community participation, delivered across multiple physical locations in the Netherlands. The organization operates under a distinctive anthroposophical care philosophy ("Je bent meer dan je denkt!" — "You are more than you think!"), emphasizing individual strengths, talents, and community participation within a "caring community" framework, which differentiates it from mainstream Dutch care providers.

The business model is government-anchored: healthcare costs are primarily funded through the Dutch Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz), supplemented by health-insurance reimbursements, municipal (gemeente) arrangements, and limited client co-payments, with a monthly billing cadence. Go-to-market is sales-led and referral-driven, relying on municipal referrals and a dedicated client intake process to assess care needs and match clients to appropriate service locations. Technology is limited to standard healthcare IT for patient records and care management; no proprietary platforms, apps, or API integrations are disclosed. Lievegoed runs with 501–1,000 employees, maintains an employer-brand presence via a dedicated careers site, and engages in community partnerships (e.g., with the Feyenoord Foundation) to extend its reach beyond traditional care delivery.
