't Heem

What 't Heem does

't Heem (legally Zorgstichting 't Heem) is a private Dutch healthcare foundation founded in 2007 that provides small-scale elderly care services in the North Brabant region of the Netherlands. The organization operates four residential care locations — Leyenhof in Helvoirt, De Eikelaar in Udenhout, Torentjeshoef in Berkel-Enschot, and Haarensteyn in Haaren — each embedded in its respective village to keep residents connected to local community life and traditions. In addition to long-term residential care, 't Heem offers temporary short-term stays, home nursing (wijkverpleging) across five villages (Berkel-Enschot, Biezenmortel, Haaren, Helvoirt, Udenhout), and palliative end-of-life care at the Bijna Thuis Huis near Udenhout, supported by a network of 200+ volunteers with dedicated coordinators at each location.

The organization is governed by a single-member Raad van Bestuur led by Floor de Vroome under the Dutch Governance Code for Healthcare, with a five-member Raad van Toezicht providing supervision. There is no parent company, no external investors, and no disclosed subsidiaries. 't Heem uses Carenzorgt as a care management and communication tool between staff, residents, and families, and EasyCruit for recruitment; no proprietary technology platform is disclosed. The charitable foundation Stichting Vrienden van 't Heem funds resident extras including an experience garden, a Qwiek-up device, and the resident gala.

Revenue is structurally funded through Dutch long-term care insurance (WLz) and health insurance (Zvw), with 't Heem holding contracts with all Dutch health insurers. Pricing follows CAO VVT salary scales and CAK-calculated personal contributions for WLz-funded services; no consumer-facing pricing tiers are publicly disclosed. The go-to-market motion is sales-led and relationship-driven: prospective residents or their families contact the organization directly, are referred through housing corporation partnerships with TBV Wonen and Woonveste for adjacent apartments, or engage Team Zorgadvies care advisors for in-home needs assessments. Distribution spans four residential locations, neighborhood home care teams across five villages, the Bijna Thuis Huis hospice, and adjacent senior rental apartments. Recent strategic activity includes implementation of a centralized care team model for cross-location staff redeployment, participation in the DETECT 2.0 AI-in-dementia innovation project, and structured BBL work-based learning trajectories for Helpende Plus and Verzorgende IG certifications.
