What QuaRijn does

QuaRijn (legal entity Stichting QuaRijn) is a Dutch nonprofit healthcare foundation headquartered in Doorn, Netherlands, that provides integrated elderly care services across five municipalities in the Utrecht province: Bunnik, Rhenen, Utrechtse Heuvelrug, Veenendaal, and Wijk bij Duurstede. The organization operates 11+ care locations including residential woonzorglocaties (Beatrix, Bunninchem, De Koekoek, De Linde, De Ridderhof, De Tabakshof, De Weijer, Ewoud & Elisabeth Gasthuis, and the Het Zonnehuis complex), the Het Zonnehuis geriatric rehabilitation center, and eight ontmoetingscentra (meeting/day centers).

The workforce consists of 1001-5000 employees supplemented by approximately 600 active volunteers.

The organization runs a fee-for-service, reimbursement-driven business model under the Dutch healthcare system, with primary revenue from the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz) long-term care insurance for residential and nursing care, Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo) municipal funding for day activities and home support, basic health insurance for casemanagement and treatment services, and income-dependent client contributions collected via CAK. Donations to the QuaRijn Foundation (ANBI-status, RSIN 821326363) provide supplementary funding for extras beyond basic care. QuaRijn pursues clinical and technological differentiation through its TopCare predicate trajectory for Geriatric Rehabilitation Care, an active research program with Amsterdam UMC, UMCU, Hogeschool Utrecht, and UNO, and innovative pilots including a self-operated Scan2Go MRI scanner and smart-screen patient engagement systems at the Het Zonnehuis rehabilitation center. Quality is assured through PREZO certification across day and meeting centers and NEN 7510 information security compliance.
