What Prinsenstichting does

Prinsenstichting is a Dutch care foundation (Stichting) founded in 1962 and headquartered in Purmerend, North Holland, providing integrated care and support services for people with intellectual disabilities. The organization serves individuals across all age groups (children, youth, adults, elderly) and severity levels (light, moderate, severe, very severe), often with co-occurring autism, behavioral, or psychiatric conditions, and supports their families through counseling, respite, and flex-living arrangements.

The organization operates a comprehensive care platform spanning five residential tiers (intensive guidance, guidance with nursing care, supported living, independent living, and flex-living), nine day-activity and vocational centers (including the No Limits laundry/logistics/green-services training programs), two specialized interdisciplinary treatment centers (Behandelcentrum Zodiak and Behandelcentrum De Schar), pediatric day centers (ODC Wegwijzer), a therapy pool (Therapiebad), and a multimedia center. Care delivery is anchored in the Gentle Teaching philosophy, supplemented by the Geef me de Vijf methodology, EMDR adapted for intellectual disability, and an active scientific research department partnered with Amsterdam UMC. Underlying infrastructure consists of 60+ residential and day-activity locations across North Holland.

Revenue is generated through managed healthcare services reimbursed under the Dutch Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz) long-term care insurance regime, with clients accessing services via the central Bureau Clientondersteuning intake, healthcare-professional referrals, or the online client portal. Two wholly-owned related foundations (Stichting Beheer for management services and Stichting Steun for support services) provide ancillary functions. Prinsenstichting is transitioning to a fully independent organization effective January 1, 2027.
