Aveleijn

What Aveleijn does

Aveleijn is a Dutch healthcare organization that provides care, support, treatment, and advisory services for children, youth, adults, and seniors with intellectual disabilities (verstandelijke beperking) in the Twente region and the municipality of Berkelland. Founded in 1968 and headquartered in Borne, Netherlands, the organization operates 15+ residential and day-activity facilities across cities including Borne, Enschede, Hengelo, Almelo, Denekamp, Oldenzaal, Haaksbergen, and Markelo. Service offerings include 24-hour supervised living, ambulatory support for clients living independently, day activity programs, and a treatment and advice center providing diagnostics and behavioral/psychological care. The organization also runs specialized units for high-acuity needs, including a high-alert location for clients with triple diagnosis (intellectual disability combined with psychiatric, addiction, or judicial issues) and a Parent-Child House for parents with intellectual disabilities and their children.

Aveleijn's operating model is built on its '3 O's' philosophy - Ontmoeten (Encounter), Ontwikkelen (Development), and Ondersteunen (Support) - supported by a volunteer network of over 800 individuals contributing to client quality of life and social inclusion programs. Digital infrastructure includes the proprietary CAREN client management system, which allows clients to access their own care records. Revenue is generated primarily through Dutch government healthcare funding under the WLZ (Wet Langdurige Zorg - Long-Term Care Act) and municipal care budgets, with ancillary income from subsidized activity participation fees. The organization employs a large specialized care workforce across its network, with 35 open vacancies at time of analysis, and operates a multi-channel recruitment and community engagement approach including employer branding events and dedicated careers portal (werkenbij.aveleijn.nl). Distribution is entirely direct through physical facilities, with clients accessing services via municipal referrals, healthcare assessments, and WLZ insurance-covered care plans.
