What ASVZ does

ASVZ is a Dutch non-profit healthcare organization founded approximately 50 years ago (around 1970) from a parent initiative and headquartered in Sliedrecht, Netherlands. It provides integrated care and support services for people with intellectual disabilities (LVB, EVB, MVB severity levels) across all age groups, organized into five core service pillars: Ondersteuning Thuis (Home Support), Dagbesteding (Day Activities), Wonen (Residential Living), Diagnostiek en Behandeling (Diagnostics and Treatment), and Beeldzorg (Video Care). The organization operates 222 locations across four Dutch regions (Midden-Brabant, Midden-Holland, Waardenland, West-Brabant), with major sites including Merwebolder (Sliedrecht, approximately 350 clients), Vincentius (Udenhout), Lingebolder (Leerdam), and Wielewaal (Rotterdam). Services are delivered by multidisciplinary teams including GZ-psychologists, orthopedagogues, AVG physicians, physiotherapists, speech therapists, occupational therapists, and arts therapists, supported by 1001-5000 employees.

The underlying technology stack is conventional rather than proprietary: Beeldzorg provides 24/7 video care via tablet/mobile with a Beeldzorgcentrale for on-demand support; the Caren client portal allows clients and families to access care plans and health records; the ZelfWijs platform offers educational content for clients; ZorgDomein integration handles professional referrals for diagnostics and therapy services; and ReadSpeaker provides text-to-speech accessibility on the website. Specialized facilities include De Schakel (a 9-client rehabilitation, observation, and palliative care unit), the OuderKind-voorziening (parent-child facility), five respite (logeer) houses, and community-embedded enterprises such as shops, cafes, workshops, a petting farm, and a riding school that integrate clients into mainstream society.

ASVZ operates as an ANBI (Algemeen Nut Beogende Instelling, a Dutch Public Benefit Organization) with no external investors, parent company, or disclosed funding rounds. Revenue is generated almost entirely through the Dutch social insurance system: primarily the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz - Long-term Care Act, often via the Volledig Pakket Thuis model), the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (WMO - Social Support Act), the Jeugdwet (Youth Act), and Persoonsgebonden Budget (PGB - personal budgets). GTM operates through multiple referral channels including municipalities, wijkteams, Centrum Jeugd en Gezin, medical specialists, schools for special education, and direct family inquiries processed via a dedicated Klantadvies (Customer Advice) department and online application portal. The organization is governed by a two-member Raad van Bestuur (Hanneke Kooiman as Chair and Jaap de Gruijter) alongside a Supervisory Board.
