What Zozijn does

Zozijn is a Dutch non-profit care organization headquartered in Wilp, Gelderland, providing residential, day, ambulatory, educational, and palliative care services for people with intellectual disabilities (verstandelijke beperking) and non-congenital brain injury (NAH), as well as children and youth with developmental and behavioral problems. Its service portfolio spans nine core offerings - Wonen (residential care), Logeren (overnight respite), Werk en dagbesteding (work and day activities), Begeleiding in eigen omgeving (ambulant support), Onderzoek/advies/behandeling (research and treatment), Zozijn School (education), 24-hour complex VG care, Dagbehandeling voor kinderen (day treatment for children), and Palliatieve zorg (palliative care) - delivered through a network of more than 160 locations across the Achterhoek, De Liemers, Salland, De Graafschap, and Oost Veluwe regions. Supporting infrastructure includes the Zozijn Zorglab innovation lab (with an eight-client testing team based in Doetinchem), the Samen Thuis digital platform for at-home activities, the Kado&Zo work activity center, and specialized therapy programs such as the Ronnie Gardiner Methode for NAH clients.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through Dutch public healthcare reimbursement schemes: the Wet Langdurige Zorg (WLZ) for long-term residential and day care, and the Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning (WMO) / Jeugdwet (JW) for ambulatory and youth services. The go-to-market model is sales-led via a central zorgloket (care coordination office at 088-5753000) that runs a three-step intake process from personal consultation to care offer to service commencement, with referrals also flowing from municipalities and healthcare professionals. The organization is led by Bestuurder John Cuijpers, employs 1,001-5,000 staff, and is currently expanding capacity via the new Zorgpark Warmse Water development in Terborg, which will add 112 residential places with first residents expected in Q1 2027.
