What Mijzo does

Mijzo (Stichting Mijzo) is a Dutch foundation-based elderly care organization headquartered in Waalwijk, North Brabant, delivering a full continuum of care — district nursing (wijkverpleging), residential living, geriatric rehabilitation, day care, short-stay respite, and allied-health treatments (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, dietetics, psychology, wound care) — to elderly individuals and people with chronic conditions, dementia, Parkinson's, Huntington's, Korsakoff syndrome, non-congenital brain injury, and gerontopsychiatric needs across at least 8 municipalities in the region. The organization operates 12+ owned woonzorglocaties, multiple wijkteams serving defined neighborhoods, a dedicated revalidation unit co-located inside the Elisabeth-TweeSteden Ziekenhuis (ETZ) in Waalwijk, and specialist expertisecentra for complex conditions, with centralized intake through Mijn Zorgadvies. Care delivery is structured around the proprietary Schijf van Vijf methodology, a five-step framework prioritizing client self-capacity, assistive technology (Momo Bedsense, SafetyTracer GPS, Medido dispensers, etc.), family and social networks, and professional intervention, supported by digital self-service tools (EigenWegWijzer questionnaire, Hulpmiddelen Scan with Floortje Thuis). Revenue is entirely publicly funded under Dutch healthcare legislation — the Zorgverzekeringswet (Zvw), Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo), Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz), GZSP rehabilitation funding, and Persoonsgebonden budget (PGB) — with no privately disclosed fee schedules; go-to-market runs through own delivery channels (residential locations, wijkteams, specialist centers) supplemented by GP, hospital, and municipal referrals, plus a digital top-of-funnel via the website. Effective January 1, 2026, Mijzo acquired fellow elderly care organization Het Hoge Veer, integrating it as a retained-brand subsidiary and extending its regional footprint.

Revenue model

1. Healthcare Insurance Act (Zvw) — Home Nursing and Medical Treatment: Nursing and personal care at home are covered under the Dutch Healthcare Insurance Act (Zorgverzekeringswet, Zvw). Wijkverpleging (district nursing) requires an indication from an HBO-trained district nurse and is fully reimbursed from the basic health insurance package with no mandatory excess for the nursing component. This represents the primary revenue stream for Mijzo's home-based care services.
2. Social Support Act (Wmo) — Community-Based Support: Municipal support services such as household assistance, guidance, and daytime activities are commissioned and funded under the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo) via the local municipality. Clients may be required to contribute a personal payment (eigen bijdrage).
3. Long-Term Care Act (Wlz) — Residential and Chronic Care: For clients with permanent, intensive care needs, funding is provided under the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz). An indication from the CIZ (Centrum Indicatiestelling Zorg) is required. WlZ-funded residents pay an income-dependent personal contribution (eigen bijdrage) to the CAK. This covers residential care, nursing home care, and specialized care at Mijzo's woonzorglocaties.
4. Personal Health Budget (PGB): Clients may receive a Persoonsgebonden budget (PGB) — a personal health budget — to arrange their own care and support. In some cases, informal caregivers (mantelzorgers) may be compensated from this budget for care tasks otherwise performed by professionals.
5. Medical Specialist Rehabilitation Care (GZSP / Geriatric Rehabilitation): Specialized geriatric rehabilitation is reimbursed through basic health insurance when a medical specialist determines the need for rehabilitation. Clients pay only their standard deductible (eigen risico). In some cases, reimbursement flows through the WlZ. Mijzo provides rehabilitation at dedicated units at several locations.
6. Specialized Treatment and Therapies: Allied health therapies — physiotherapy, ergotherapy, speech therapy, dietetics, and psychology — are provided at Mijzo's care locations and at clients' homes. These are reimbursed under the basic health insurance package, with logopedie, fysiotherapie, and ergotherapie covered for qualifying conditions. Psychology services are funded through GZSP or WlZ.

Partnerships

Ten partnerships are on record, tiered core and minor.

• Floortje ThuiscoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerFloortje Thuis is a partner in the development of Mijzo's assistive device scan tool (hulpmiddelen scan). This online tool helps users answer a few short questions to discover which smart solutions and assistive devices fit their personal situation. The partnership enables Mijzo to offer a personalized technology recommendation service to prospective and existing clients.
• Momo MedicalcoreTechnology or IntegrationMomo Medical is the supplier of the Momo Bedsense — a smart bed sensor used at most Mijzo care locations. The device measures vibrations and pressure distribution via a bed plate placed under the mattress, providing care staff with real-time insight into client bed occupancy, movement, breathing, and heart rate. This technology enhances nighttime monitoring quality and reduces unnecessary nighttime interruptions for clients.
• SafetyTracercoreTechnology or IntegrationSafetyTracer supplies the Kompy GPS tracking device used by Mijzo for clients with dementia or memory problems who are at risk of wandering. The wristwatch or necklace device enables location tracking and geofencing, alerting caregivers when the user leaves a defined safe zone. This extends clients' freedom of movement while maintaining safety.
• Regional Hospitals (Elisabeth-TweeSteden Ziekenhuis and others)coreStrategic or Co-development PartnerMijzo collaborates with regional hospitals including the Elisabeth-TweeSteden Ziekenhuis (ETZ) in Waalwijk, where Mijzo operates a dedicated revalidation unit on the fourth floor of the hospital. Hospitals refer post-surgical, post-stroke, and post-trauma patients to Mijzo for geriatric rehabilitation. The partnership ensures a smooth transition from acute hospital care back to home or residential care.
• Anders Werken in de ZorgminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerAnders Werken in de Zorg ('Working Differently in Care') is a regional collaboration network in Midden- en West-Brabant focused on accelerating the adoption of care technology. Mijzo participates in this initiative, contributing to and benefiting from shared research on how care technologies improve quality and efficiency.
• Wond Expertise Centrum (WEC) West- en Midden-BrabantcoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerThe Wond Expertise Centrum is a regional network of wound care specialists across West- en Midden-Brabant, of which Mijzo is a member. The WEC includes wound nurses, wound consultants, and nursing specialists who support complex wound care for clients at home and in residential settings. This multi-organization collaboration raises the quality and consistency of wound care across the region.

The municipalities act as funding bodies and commissioners, while Mijzo delivers services within their jurisdictions. This is a formal procurement relationship.
• Housing Corporations (Woningcorporaties)minorStrategic or Co-development PartnerMijzo partners with local housing corporations (e.g., Casade) to provide senior housing (seniorenpluswoningen/anleunwoningen) adjacent to or within Mijzo's care locations. For example, at Eikendonk (Waalwijk), the apartment complex 'de Waard' is managed by Casade and prioritizes applicants with a care need or whose partner already lives at Eikendonk. At Dongepark (Dongen), similar arrangements exist. This enables a continuum from independent living to residential care.
• Het Hoge VeercoreStrategic or Co-development PartnerEffective January 1, 2026, elderly care organization Het Hoge Veer joined Mijzo as a subsidiary. This acquisition significantly expands Mijzo's regional footprint and client base in Noord-Brabant.

• MantelzorgNLminorStrategic or Co-development PartnerMijzo refers family caregivers (mantelzorgers) to MantelzorgNL's Mantelzorglijn — a national telephone support line — for independent advice and counseling.
