Nobama Care

What Nobama Care does

Nobama Care is a privately held Dutch healthcare operator founded in 2018 by Noor Nezami, providing small-scale residential care for elderly individuals with dementia and memory problems in South Limburg, Netherlands. The company operates 9 care locations — including historic properties such as Kasteel Zuyderhoudt, Gemmaklooster, and the rijksmonument Rothemermolen — each housing between 16 and 26 units. Its core service portfolio comprises three offerings: zorgstudio's (24-hour care under the Wet Langdurige Zorg, WLZ), aanleun-serviceappartementen (assisted living with on-demand care funded via the Zorgverzekeringswet), and logeeropvang (temporary respite care for caregivers). Underlying care delivery uses a person-centered approach, with staff trained in the proprietary Brein-methodiek to tailor interactions to residents' personal rhythms.

The business model is funded primarily through Dutch public healthcare reimbursement streams: WLZ indications for 24-hour care residents and the Zorgverzekeringswet for assisted-living residents, supplemented by rent (from approximately €900 per month), service costs, and statutory personal contributions. Housing infrastructure is owned and managed exclusively by Gen Residenties under a partnership that separates real estate from care delivery, allowing Nobama Care to scale on an asset-light basis. Sales and admissions run through a network of zorgbemiddelaars (care mediators) who provide personal consultations, property viewings, and family onboarding. The company holds PREZO Keurmerk certification, operates under Governancecode Zorg and WMCZ 2018, and is a recognized training company (Erkend Leerbedrijf) for healthcare apprentices.

Governance is founder-led, with Noor Nezami as Chair of the Board of Directors, Esther Voeten promoted to the Board in September 2025, and a four-person Supervisory Board (Raad van Commissarissen) including members appointed in 2022, 2025, and 2026 to oversee quality, digital innovation, and the future human dimension of elderly care. Operations are regionally concentrated in Zuid-Limburg with no disclosed external institutional investors, funding rounds, or expansion outside the South Limburg catchment area. ZorgkaartNederland patient ratings range from 7.3 to 9.6 across locations, reflecting strong local reputation but uneven performance across sites.
