De Blanckenborg

What De Blanckenborg does

De Blanckenborg (legal entity: Stichting Zorgcentrum 'de Blanckenborg') is a Dutch nonprofit healthcare foundation operating an integrated elderly care campus in Blijham, Oost-Groningen. Founded in 1966 and registered as an ANBI (Public Benefit Institution), it serves the municipalities of Westerwolde, Oldambt, and Pekela through a single-site model anchored by 100 nursing home apartments (40 psychogeriatric, 60 general nursing) and 60 assisted living apartments (aanleunwoningen) owned or co-managed with Estea and Woningstichting Acantus. Approximately 300-330 staff and ~100 volunteers deliver care under the direction of permanent CEO Dianne Burger (appointed January 1, 2026).

The service portfolio spans the full continuum of Dutch elderly care: nursing home care (verpleeghuis, WLZ-funded), home nursing (wijkverpleging/thuiszorg, Zvw-funded), short-stay primary care residence (ELV, including palliative terminal care), day care (dagbesteding), primary care treatment (specialist ouderengeneeskunde, GZ-psycholoog, physiotherapy, dietetics, speech and occupational therapy), and municipal household support (WMO huishouding). Supporting infrastructure includes a Zorgdomotica smart-sensor system for fall detection and resident safety, a sensory garden (beleeftuin) opened August 2025, an internal renovation launched February 2026, and on-site amenities such as a restaurant, hairdresser, dentist, pedicure, and Alzheimer Café.

The business model is reimbursement-driven under regulated Dutch healthcare frameworks, with revenue derived from WLZ long-term care tariffs, Zvw health insurance contracts (including 2026 contracts covering wijkverpleging, ELV, and GZSP), WMO municipal household support, and ancillary fees for laundry, meals, hairdresser, and pedicure. Go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer inquiries via the servicebalie and website, GP and hospital referrals for residential and ELV placements, and municipal channels for WMO services. The organization holds HKZ quality certification, complies with AVG/GDPR, WGBO, Wkkgz, and Wzd, and reports an 8.5 average rating on Zorgkaart Nederland across ~96-144 reviews, signaling strong but locally anchored demand visibility.
