De Blije Borgh

What De Blije Borgh does

De Blije Borgh (legal entity: Zorgorganisatie De Blije Borgh) is a non-profit Dutch foundation (stichting) that provides integrated elderly care services in and around the municipality of Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht in the Netherlands. Its service platform spans residential nursing home care (including psychogeriatric departments), home care (thuiszorg), day care (dagbesteding), care mediation (zorgbemiddeling), household assistance, home alerting, and three community meeting centers — Wielstaete, Sophiastaete, and Emmastaete — that host social activities, warm meals, and wellness programming. The organization also operates Plusflat senior housing at Sophiastaete in collaboration with housing corporation Rhiant, and the rental Alewijnsflat senior apartment complex.

The care model is supported by approximately 350 volunteers alongside paid staff, with on-site technology including automatic medication dispensers, tablets with video-calling capabilities (Skype, FaceTime), the Familienet family-sharing platform, and tag-reader access systems underpinning an open-door policy in the nursing departments. Quality is anchored by HKZ certification (achieved 2023) and integration with Dutch regulated funding schemes: the Wlz (long-term care act), Wmo (social support act), and Zvw (health insurance act). Ancillary revenue is generated through activity membership fees (€32/year baseline), meal service unit pricing (€11.30 for a three-course meal), subscription clubs, and rental income from senior apartments.

The go-to-market motion is sales-led via the Zorgbemiddeling function, which guides prospective clients and families from initial inquiry through care initiation, supplemented by referrals from municipal Wmo services and CIZ for Wlz indications. Distribution occurs through direct in-person care provision at the Hendrik-Ido-Ambacht locations and in clients' own homes, with partnerships providing regional reach — most notably the ZorgCoöperatie Drechtsteden cooperative (formed October 2023 with PZC Dordrecht, De Merwelanden, and Aafje) and the IZA Waardenland alliance of 25 care organizations across 9 municipalities, which secured €58.5 million in national Integraal Zorgakkoord funding in October 2025.
