What Coloriet does

Coloriet is a non-profit foundation (stichting) providing the full continuum of elderly care services across the Flevoland province in the Netherlands, headquartered in Lelystad. The organization operates 5 residential care centers (woonzorgcentra), 1 advisory and treatment center, and 3 day centers across the municipalities of Dronten, Lelystad, and Zeewolde, serving approximately 1,400 clients with 1,200+ employees and 600 volunteers. Its service portfolio spans home-based district nursing (wijkzorg), day activities (dagbesteding), geriatric rehabilitation (GRZ), residential living for dementia (PG) and somatic care, palliative and hospice care ('t Hofje), and a multidisciplinary treatment center delivering physiotherapy, psychology, dietetics, and other allied health services.

Coloriet's technology layer includes Beeldzorg (scheduled video-based care routes via tablet), Sensara lifestyle-pattern monitoring sensors in client homes, the Medido smart medication dispenser, and zorgdomotica (biodynamic lighting, motion detection, and dementia-safe movement tracking). These tools support its strategy of enabling elderly clients to remain independent at home longer while escalating to residential care when medically indicated. The platform is supported by a custom BBL work-study training pipeline with Firda and Triade Vitree to secure regional workforce supply.

The business model is almost entirely publicly funded through regulated Dutch frameworks: the WLZ (Wet Langdurige Zorg) covers residential and long-term care, basic health insurance (basisverzekering) funds district nursing and geriatric rehabilitation, and the WMO (Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning) funds day activities and household support via municipal budgets. A small private-pay stream exists for services outside insurance coverage. Pricing is income-dependent via CAK for WLZ clients, with additional services (laundry, hairdresser, activities) billed separately. Coloriet is governed by a Raad van Bestuur led by CEO Joost Meijs, with a Raad van Commissarissen chaired by Herbert Griffioen, and holds ANBI tax status.

Revenue model

1. Wet Langdurige Zorg (WLZ) - Long-term Care Insurance: Revenue from the Dutch Long-term Care Act (WLZ) for residential care, including somatic care, psychogeriatric care (PG), temporary stay (ELV), and geriatric rehabilitation (GRZ). This government-funded insurance covers the majority of residential care costs.
2. Wijkverpleging (Home Care Nursing): Home-based nursing and personal care services funded through basic health insurance (Basisverzekering). Geriatric revalidation (GRZ) is also covered under the basic health insurance with no personal contribution required.
3. WMO - Municipal Social Support: Support services funded through the Dutch Social Support Act (WMO) including household help, day activities, and support at home from the client's municipality.
4. Particuliere Zorg (Private Pay): Clients can self-fund care and services from Coloriet. Care mediators provide a personalized quote based on the client's wishes and care needs. This covers private pay for care not covered by insurance.
