's Heeren Lo

What 's Heeren Lo does

's Heeren Loo is a Dutch non-profit care organization founded in 1891 and headquartered in Amersfoort, employing 10,000+ people to provide care and support for individuals with intellectual disabilities, non-congenital brain injury (NAH), and other complex care needs. Its service platform spans residential care parks (woonzorgparken), talentencentra (day-activity centers), orthopedagogische behandelcentra, polyclinics (including LVB-GGZ, genetic syndromes, sleep, and dental), special education schools, and ambulatory/home-based support, with regional operations such as De Noorderbrug (northern Netherlands) and Auriga Dordrecht (youth). Treatment modalities include Triple-C, EMDR, cognitive behavioral therapy, sensory integration therapy, sleep therapy, and system/family therapy, delivered by multi-disciplinary teams (Arts VG, behavioral scientists, physiotherapists, occupational therapists, speech therapists, dietitians, and dental care).

The organization is funded primarily through three Dutch statutory schemes: the WLZ (Wet Langdurige Zorg) for long-term residential and day care, the Wmo (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) for community and home-based support, and the Jeugdwet (Youth Act) for specialized youth care. GTM is referral- and municipality-led rather than transactional: clients and referrers access intake via the national website, a client portal (shl.powerappsportals.com), Klantcontact Landelijk (0800-355 55 55), and dedicated referrer pathways; De Noorderbrug, for example, contracts Wmo services with 73 municipalities. Notable technology assets include Zorgdomotica care-home automation, the INDI smart incontinence product co-developed with Priovention, the Academie voor Zelfstandigheid independence-training program, and a client database plus a dedicated scientific research foundation (Stichting Wetenschappelijk Onderzoek). The organization owns approximately two-thirds of its roughly 1,200 buildings nationwide and has committed to a 55% CO2 reduction by 2030 through circular construction.
