Korian Belgium

What Korian Belgium does

Korian Belgium nv is a Belgian integrated elderly and home care provider operating 90+ residential facilities and a regional network of home care offices across Flanders, Wallonia, and Brussels. Its portfolio spans woonzorgcentra (nursing homes), assistentiewoningen (assisted living apartments), specialized psychogeriatric and neuropsychiatric care centers, temporary stay options (short stay, recovery stay, day care), and a Korian Home Care division offering 24/7 home nursing, family care (gezinszorg), cleaning services (poetshulp), and postnatal maternity care (kraamzorg). Adjacent services include CURA Services for administrative and organizational support, OrthoShop retail for care products, personal alarm systems, a nursing practice (verpleegkundig kabinet), and blood sampling centers (prikcentra bloedafname).

The company operates under a 'Positive Care' philosophy ('veel kan, niets moet') and benefits from being a wholly-owned subsidiary of Clariane Group (formerly Korian Group), which provides corporate governance, shared best practices, and group-wide initiatives including the Women's Club, Petra vzw solidarity fund, and an Integrityline whistleblower system. It holds ISO 9001 certification and Top Employer Belgium 2026 recognition.

Korian Belgium generates revenue through recurring subscription/recurring-payment models across residential care, home care, and CURA Services (with CURA billed via transferable annual hourly packs). Home nursing is billed at official INAMI tariffs with third-party payment through Belgian health insurance mutualities; family care and maternity care use income-based contribution calculations. Distribution is sales-led via regional offices, hospital referral partnerships, and direct website/phone inquiry, with no public listing and no disclosed private funding (capital is supplied via the Clariane parent). Recent strategic positioning includes a March 2026 partnership with Blink Charging to deploy 200+ EV chargers across its facilities, with planned Netherlands expansion.
