DSV

What DSV does

DSV is a Dutch non-profit healthcare foundation (Stichting DSV) founded in 1999, providing integrated elderly care services in Katwijk and Lisse municipalities in the Netherlands. The organization operates four residential care locations (Duinrand in Katwijk aan Zee, Vlietstede in Rijnsburg, Rustoord in Lisse, and Salem currently in temporary housing in Rijnsburg) together with a home care (Zorg Thuis) division, a 6-room hospice, day activities under the DSV DOEN! sub-brand, and a portfolio of senior rental apartments with integrated care services. It employs over 800 staff supplemented by volunteers, achieving a client satisfaction score of 8+ in 2025 surveys across both home care and residential settings. Care is funded through Dutch statutory frameworks: Wlz (long-term care) for residential and Volledig Pakket Thuis (VPT) services, Zvw (health insurance law) for home nursing, and Wmo (social support) for household help, with personal contributions collected through CAK.

The service portfolio is organized as a platform-plus-modules model anchored on residential care (Wonen met Zorg) and home care (Wijkverpleging, Prettig Wonen Thuis, Beeldzorg), with add-on modules covering dementia guidance, alerting systems, meals, household help, and day activities. Technology is concentrated in healthcare communications rather than data-driven systems: tablet-based video care (Beeldzorg), Zivver secure messaging within the Sleutelnet network of 36+ healthcare parties in Zuid-Holland Noord, and FocusCura smart access for emergency home entry. Facility modernization is a current strategic priority, with demolition of the old Salem building completed in 2025 and construction of a new 110-unit Salem facility (plus a 6-unit hospice) underway, alongside 21 care-integrated units at the De Koekkoek complex (Q3 2026) built by housing corporation Dunavie.

DSV's revenue model is fully embedded in the Dutch regulated healthcare system. Approximately all revenue derives from statutory contracts (Wlz, Wmo, Zvw) with health insurers and municipalities; the Stichting Vrienden van DSV (Friends Foundation) provides only marginal donation income (€17,649 total assets as of December 31, 2025). Distribution operates through a centralized Zorgbemiddeling intake, referrals from GPs, hospitals, municipalities, and casemanagers, and — from January 13, 2026 — through the Regionaal Aanmeldpunt Wijkzorg coordination point in Lisse. The organization is governed by a Board of Directors led by Jan de Vries and a five-member Supervisory Board, with no parent company or private equity backing.
