What TanteLouise does

TanteLouise (Stichting tanteLouise) is a Dutch elderly care foundation operating across the municipalities of Bergen op Zoom, Steenbergen, and Woensdrecht in the province of North Brabant. The organization runs 17+ care locations including large residential nursing homes (Wonen bij Tante), day care centers, a hospice (Hospice De Markies), a geriatric rehabilitation center co-located inside Bravis Hospital, and community-based VanThuisUit hubs. Its portfolio spans the full continuum of elder care: specialized dementia units with domotics and leefcirkels freedom technology, dedicated units for Korsakov syndrome, non-congenital brain injury (NAH), gerontopsychiatry, Parkinson's disease, and culturally specific care for Indische-Dutch and Turkish elderly, plus specialist home nursing (including kidney dialysis and IV medication via the TVT team) and outpatient therapies.

The organization employs 2,500+ staff and volunteers and operates with a technological backbone of IoT-based domotics (bedsensors, GPS wristbands for controlled door access, leefcirkels life-circle technology, and the Zorgrobot Sara care robot), supported by Tante's Zorglab innovation lab. It applies two proprietary frameworks: 'Samenredzaamheid' (co-resilience), a five-step methodology integrating clients, informal caregivers, volunteers, and professionals to maximize self-reliance, and 'Life in Responsible Freedom' for dementia care. Digital channels include the Tante's Zus & Zo family portal and Caren care record access for relatives.

TanteLouise generates revenue exclusively through the Dutch public healthcare system: WLZ long-term care contracts with 10 major health insurers for 2025-2026 (CZ, VGZ, Zilveren Kruis, Menzis, DSW, ASR, ONVZ, Caresq, Salland, Zorg en Zekerheid), Zvw health insurance reimbursements for outpatient therapies, and Wmo social support contracts commissioned by municipalities. The VanThuisUit concept, co-developed with CZ Zorgkantoor, is now being replicated by 8 other care organizations. GTM is sales-led through CIZ referrals, GP/hospital transfer nurses, and a Client Service Bureau handling inquiries 7 days a week, with direct-to-consumer self-referral channels for home-based services. The board of directors follows WNT (Dutch Top Income Standards) compensation rules, confirming its status as a publicly funded non-profit institution.
