What Cordaan does

Stichting Cordaan is a Dutch non-profit healthcare foundation, founded in 1683 and headquartered in Amsterdam, providing integrated care services across four operating domains: elderly care (Ouderenzorg), youth care (Jeugd), intellectual disability support (Verstandelijke Beperking), and mental health care (Psychische Kwetsbaarheid). The organization operates approximately 120 physical locations across Amsterdam, Diemen, Huizen, and Nieuw-Vennep, supported by 60 home care teams (wijkteams), and serves several thousand clients across residential, day-activity, home-care, and treatment programs. Cordaan's service portfolio spans day activities (dagbesteding), home care (Zorg Thuis), the 'Zorgeloos Thuis' full-package-home (VPT) model, residential woonzorgcentra, supported independent living (e.g., the Waterland Oase community-living initiative), and treatment services. A distinctive element is the 'Kunst & Zorg' (Art & Care) program, which embeds theater, visual arts, digital arts, spoken word, and music into care delivery through Theater LeBelle, the Outsider Art Galerie at H'ART Museum, Het Open Atelier, and the Ambulant Kunstteam of roughly 50 artists.

The core technology platform is web-based: a public website (www.cordaan.nl) developed with digital agency Norday, the 'Mijn Cordaan' client portal, online registration forms for work and day activities, and a volunteer-management portal (vrijwilligers.cordaan.nl); Piwik/Matomo is used for web analytics. No proprietary technology stack, API, or mobile application is disclosed. Cordaan is WCAG 2.1 Level AA certified (independently audited by Swink in July 2025) and AVG (GDPR) compliant.

Cordaan's revenue model is substantially government-funded. Long-term residential and intensive care is reimbursed under the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz); community-based services such as day activities and home support are funded through the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo); youth services fall under the Jeugdwet. Clients (or their personal budgets / pgb) and income-dependent eigen bijdrage contributions administered by the CAK provide a secondary revenue stream, though no prices are privately disclosed. The go-to-market is referral-led, channeled through general practitioners, medical specialists, municipalities, and the internal Cliënten Servicebureau (phone, email, online intake), with informal caregivers and volunteers as additional referral pathways. Cordaan's strategic direction is governed by the 2023 long-range course 'Kleurrijk en betekenisvol, met elkaar', with core values of Courage, Together, and Trust guiding development through 2033.

Revenue model

1. Government-funded healthcare services (Wlz, Wmo, Jeugdwet): Cordaan is a Dutch healthcare provider whose services are substantially funded through government healthcare frameworks. Care services for residential and long-term care clients are reimbursed through the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz - Long-term Care Act). Community-based services such as day activities and home support are funded through the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo - Social Support Act). Youth care services fall under the Jeugdwet (Youth Act). Clients may also receive personal budgets (persoonsgebonden budget, pgb) to fund care. Clients pay an income-dependent contribution (eigen bijdrage) determined by the Centraal Administratiekantoor (CAK).
2. Servicepunt Informele Zorg - volunteer coordination: Cordaan coordinates informal care (informele zorg) and volunteer programs, including matching volunteers to clients and organizing community-based support. This service supports the core care delivery model but does not generate direct revenue.
3. Zorgeloos Thuis (Volledig Pakket Thuis - VPT): Zorgeloos Thuis is Cordaan's 'Complete Package at Home' offering, a Wlz-funded home care bundle covering personal care, nursing, household support, meals, alarm systems, and day activities, similar to residential care but delivered at home. Clients pay an income-dependent contribution to the CAK.
