What Cedrah does

Cedrah (Stichting Cedrah) is a Dutch non-profit foundation that delivers residential, home-based, and welfare services to elderly clients whose care needs are anchored in a Reformed Protestant (gereformeerd) identity. The organization operates 12 care and housing locations — including care centers, service flats, and senior complexes — across the provinces of Zeeland and South Holland in the Netherlands, serving approximately 500 elderly residents and clients. Its operating model embeds spiritual, pastoral, and community-based care alongside clinical and welfare services, which differentiates Cedrah from secular Dutch elderly care providers and aligns it with a clearly defined ethno-religious segment of the Dutch LTC market.

The revenue model is funded primarily through Dutch public healthcare insurance schemes, principally the Long-Term Care Act (Wlz) for intramural residents and the Social Support Act (Wmo) for community-based support, supplemented by rental income from service flats and senior housing units and by contributions from a volunteer base of approximately 800 individuals. Cedrah is a member of the RefoZorg coalition, a collaborative network of Reformed Protestant care providers, and is actively pursuing a merger with RST Zorgverleners, which would expand its operational scope and consolidate its regional footprint.

Capital deployment has centered on facility modernization and expansion, including the opening of Uitzicht (2022) and the planned Amandelhof development (2025-2026). The organization is led by a two-person bestuur under Teunis Stoop following the December 2024 departure of co-director Marianne de Vries, with regional management covering individual care clusters.
