What Gors Zeeland does

Gors Zeeland is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting), registered as an Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling (ANBI), headquartered in Goes, Netherlands, and operating as a regional integrated disability-care provider serving children, adults, and elderly with intellectual disabilities (VG), physical disabilities (LG), and non-congenital brain injury (NAH). The organisation delivers a multi-service care platform that spans residential support (Woonbegeleiding), day activities/work/learning (Dagbesteding, Werken en Leren), child care (Kindzorg), ambulatory home guidance (Thuisbegeleiding), medical/therapeutic treatment (Behandeling), leisure activities (Activiteiten / Vrije Tijd), case management (Casemanagement Zorg), and three specialist NAH Centra in Goes, Vlissingen and Terneuzen. Operations are conducted from approximately 40 owned locations across all four Zeeuwse islands — Bevelanden, Walcheren, Schouwen-Duiveland and Zeeuws-Vlaanderen — making Gors the sole provincial provider of the Hersenz NAH treatment programme and ventilation care (beademingszorg) in Zeeland. Care is delivered against the Triple-C philosophical framework, embedding interdisciplinary expert teams (VG artsen, behavioural experts, physiotherapists, speech therapists, psychomotor therapists, geestelijk verzorgers) across locations.

The underlying technology stack is care-delivery-oriented rather than productised: Domotica (smart-home devices) supports client safety and well-being under AVG/GDPR; Mijn Gors Plan (mijngorsplan.nl) is a digital client dossier portal allowing clients and representatives to view, read and write care-plan information; and the VGN Academie voor Zelfstandigheid provides a digital learning environment with over 600 training modules accessible to clients. The organisation holds HKZ (Harmonisatie Kwaliteitsbeoordeling in de Zorg) certification, valid through February 2027, with periodic external audits by Het Keurmerkinstituut.

Gors' revenue model is overwhelmingly public-payer driven. The principal streams are: (i) Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz) funded residential and care services, (ii) Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo) funded ambulatory home guidance, (iii) Jeugdwet (Youth Act) funded child care, (iv) legally mandated client co-payments (eigen bijdrage) collected by CAK based on income/household composition, and (v) donations, legacies and grants channelled via Stichting Vrienden van Gors and Stichting Fonds Jan Weil. Client acquisition runs through institutional referral pathways — the CIZ (Centre for Indicating Care), the WMO loket, general practitioners, and medical specialists — funneled through Gors' cliëntenbureau (client bureau) as the intake and advisory touchpoint. Headcount is disclosed in the 251-500 range; no revenue figure is publicly reported.
