Severinus

What Severinus does

Severinus is a non-profit Dutch healthcare organization headquartered in Veldhoven, Netherlands, providing integrated care for people of all ages with intellectual disabilities across the Zuidoost-Brabant, Eindhoven, and De Kempen regions. The organisation's core offer spans four service lines: Wonen en begeleiding (residential care and home support), Werken en daginvulling (work and day programs including experience-based and activating day activities plus supported employment), Vrije tijd en beweging (leisure, sport, and movement programs), and specialized sites such as Ark (day care for severe disabilities), the Kinderdagcentrum children's centre, the Akkerhoeve farm, the in-house Bakkerij (bakery), and Restaurant High Chaparral. The portfolio is delivered through a distributed network of eight or more locations in Veldhoven, with construction of a new Platanenlaan building underway in 2025 to expand day-care capacity.

The revenue model is government-funded recurring, anchored in the Dutch Long-term Care Act (Wlz) for residential and day care, supplemented by municipal Wmo funding for home support; care packages are multi-year and determined by regulation and individual care plans rather than commercial pricing. Go-to-market is direct-to-client with referral access via municipalities, healthcare insurers (notably CZ zorgkantoor), and families/legal representatives, supported by a Volunteer Day programme engaging roughly 100 active volunteers. Distribution is augmented by community channels — Expeditie Café, Burendag, Veldhoven Gezond, Open Bedrijven Dag — and an in-house BBL training Academy for caregivers.

Operationally, Severinus co-founded the VG-Regiotafel Zuidoost-Brabant in March 2025 (a consortium of 14 healthcare organisations plus CZ and RegioKracht), holds bilateral regional pacts with SWZ zorg and Lunet since December 2022, joined Anders Werken in de Zorg in May 2025, and signed the regional Green Deal Zorg 2025-2026 targeting ~48% CO2 reduction by 2030. Technology footprint is limited: Attendi speech-controlled reporting is deployed under a national AWIZ framework agreement rather than as proprietary IP. Governance is by a Bestuurder (Raymond van Zoolingen) and a Raad van Toezicht that underwent a planned succession in 2024 (Lucas Middelhoff departing, Karin Smit appointed). A 2025 policy reduces ZZP self-employed contractors in favour of in-house staff under tightened DBA regulations.
