What Marente does

Marente (Stichting Marente) is a Dutch non-profit foundation founded in 1924 and headquartered in Voorhout that provides integrated elderly care across the Rijn-, Duin- en Bollenstreek region in South Holland. It operates roughly 30 district home-care teams (wijkteams), ten nursing home locations (including Bernardus in Sassenheim, De Wilbert in Katwijk, Berkhout in Hillegom, and Hofwijck in Voorschoten), a geriatric rehabilitation center in Oegstgeest (Revalidatie & Herstel), and day-treatment/day-care programs. The organization is recognized for two specialized niches: the Expertisecentrum Dementie op jonge leeftijd, which holds the PREZO-keurmerk (held since 2019) and operates the Ter Leede residential unit, De Spar day treatment, and the Kopgroep support program; and the only specialized care pathway for Katwijkse Ziekte (D-CAA/HCHWA-D), a hereditary cerebral amyloid angiopathy with regional prevalence, delivered through De Wilbert and the BuitenThuis day center in collaboration with LUMC.

The technology stack centers on the Nedap Ons electronic client dossier (ECD) across home and residential care, the Caren Zorgt client portal (Nedap), Beeldzorg video-care platform, and — since early 2025 — speech-controlled care reporting via Tell James integrated into Ons, the first deployment of its kind in Dutch elder care, which has reached 20,000 reports and is credited with ~25% time savings. Member-facing digital channels include the marente-ledenservice.nl portal for a membership program covering 22,000+ households. Marente is governed by a Raad van Bestuur and Raad van Commissarissen under the Governancecode Zorg 2022, holds ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling) status, and applies the cao VVT collective labor agreement. The organization is overseen by IGJ (Inspectie voor de Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd).

The business model is substantially reimbursable: revenue principally flows from Dutch statutory payers under the Zorgverzekeringswet (ZVW) for home nursing, the Wet langdurige zorg (WLZ) for residential care, and the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo) for municipal day activities and transport, in coordination with regional insurer Zorg en Zekerheid and the Avant consortium. A supplementary recurring revenue stream comes from an annual household membership at €26.75 covering 22,000+ households — generating discounts, an annual Thuis! magazine, and access to courses and outings. Course and workshop fees (medical training €162/€192 member/non-member, CPR/AED €60/€90, cooking courses €145/€175, dementia workshops free for members) and small private-pay services such as the Dag-& Doecentrum add marginal transaction revenue. Distribution runs through (1) GP and hospital referrals via Zorgdomein electronic referral; (2) the Regionaal Aanmeldpunt (RAP) regional intake point in Zuid-Holland Noord for district nursing and crisis/Erstelijnsverblijf placements, shared with ActiVite, Libertas Leiden, and WIJdezorg; and (3) self-service portals for members and clients. The organization employs 501-1000 staff and works with a substantial volunteer base (250+ at Bernardus alone).
