CareHouse

What CareHouse does

CareHouse is a Dutch for-profit, private healthcare provider founded in 2002 and headquartered in Amsterdam, specializing in development-oriented guidance for children and young people up to age 23 with developmental disabilities (autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, mild intellectual disability, emotion regulation and behavioral problems) and their families. The company operates 18+ physical locations across the Netherlands in residential, home-like settings, with additional service delivery at clients' homes and at schools through its SkoolSupport program. CareHouse is structured around six age-segmented development lines (At the Start 2–6, Kids at Home 6–12, Work it Out 13–16, My Own Life 16–23, SkoolSupport, and FamilyCare), all delivered under the firm's proprietary LEUK-LEREN methodology, which combines enjoyment-based engagement with structured developmental guidance grounded in the social competency model and systems theory. A digital client portal (mijn.carehouse.nl) supports administrative functions including progress tracking, care-hour approval, e-signatures, and online sessions.

CareHouse is a subsidiary of Levéo Groep, a Dutch mental healthcare institution (Instelling voor Geestelijke Gezondheidszorg) that also controls Perspectief and De OpgroeiPraktijk, collectively employing 230–250+ professionals across 20+ locations and serving more than 1,750 youth and 900 adults annually. Revenue is generated almost entirely through Dutch government-funded contracts: services for clients under 18 are reimbursed under the Jeugdwet (Youth Act), while services for clients 18+ are funded through the WMO (Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning / Social Support Act), with the firm holding multi-year contracts across 23 regions/municipalities. SkoolSupport introduces a secondary funding stream via education budgets (Passend Onderwijs and direct school contracts). The go-to-market model is sales-led and referral-driven: clients enter the system through municipal wijkteams, general practitioners, pediatricians, psychiatrists, certified institutions, or the standardized ZorgDomein platform, supplemented by self-referral via online forms and phone. The firm reports outcome metrics of 80% goal achievement and 8/10 customer satisfaction, holds HKZ quality certification, a WTZi institutional license, complies with the Zorgbrede Governance Code, and is a member of the Convenant Autisme. No AI/ML capabilities, public APIs, or third-party integrations are disclosed; the technology footprint is operational rather than intelligence-driven.

Revenue model

1. Government-funded Youth Care (Jeugdwet): For clients under 18, most care falls under the Jeugdwet (Youth Act). Municipalities in the Netherlands are responsible for funding this care. CareHouse has contracts with various municipalities across the Netherlands. Clients need a referral from their municipal team to receive full coverage.
2. Government-funded Social Support (WMO): For clients 18 and older, care is funded through the WMO (Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning - Social Support Act). Municipalities fund this care through contracted providers. CareHouse has separate contracts for WMO services in various regions.
3. Education Funding (SkoolSupport): SkoolSupport services may be funded through regular education and/or Passend Onderwijs (Appropriate Education). Financing options are discussed jointly to determine the best fit for the school or students.
