What ZGR does
ZGR (Stichting ZGR, rebranding to Binder) is a Dutch healthcare foundation providing integrated elderly care, dementia care, and home care across the Salland region, specifically municipalities of Raalte and Dalfsen. The organization operates seven residential care locations (Stevenserf, Stevenskamp, Angeli Custodes, De Scheper, Schuilenburg, Swaenewoerd, and Brugstede) and a home care division covering nursing, household assistance, dementia case management, and personal alarm services. ZGR employs 500+ staff and engages 600+ volunteers, delivering services through a hybrid care model that combines physical care delivery with digital and non-digital aids such as medication dispensers, sensor-based monitoring, and the proprietary Brein Omgevingsmethodiek (BOM) for dementia-friendly environments.
The business model is funded through three Dutch healthcare frameworks: the Wet Langdurige Zorg (WLZ) for residential care, the Zorgverzekeringswet (Zvw) for home nursing via contracts with all Dutch health insurers, and the Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning (WMO) via municipal contracts with Raalte and Dalfsen for household help and day care. A private-pay option exists at €140 per day for short-stay or residential care without indication. The go-to-market is community-led, relying on referrals from GPs, CIZ, municipalities, and health insurers, supplemented by local events and an employer-branding presence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.
ZGR is structurally a nonprofit stichting (foundation) registered as an ANBI (Dutch public benefit organization) and governed by a supervisory board. The organization is undergoing leadership transition (Martine Dijkstra-Eggink appointed CEO in May 2025), a corporate rebranding to Binder (announced May 2026), and a joint ICT initiative with Rosengaerde (effective July 2026). Recent capital investments include the new construction of Stevenskamp (2020) and the expansion of Brugstede (completed 2024).

ZGR competitors and assessment
Company assessmentDirect peers
- Aafje: Rotterdam-based home care and elderly services specialist focused on wijkverpleging and household help. Comparable revenue-model composition (heavily Zvw/WMO-funded) with similar client demographic to ZGR.
- Carint Reggeland: Mid-sized regional care provider in Twente (Overijssel) offering wijkverpleging, residential elderly care, and dementia support under the same Dutch funding frameworks. Comparable geographic and demographic profile to ZGR's Salland footprint.
- ZorgAccent: Regional Dutch elderly care and home care provider headquartered in the Hellendoorn/Nijverdal area, directly adjacent to ZGR's Salland operating region. Operates a comparable mix of wijkverpleging, woonzorg, and dagbesteding under the same WMO/WLZ/Zvw frameworks.
- Pantein: Regional care and home care provider in North Brabant/Limburg offering integrated elderly care, home nursing, and household support. Similar scale and Dutch regulated funding model to ZGR.
- Noorderboog: Regional care organization in Meppel/Drenthe providing wijkverpleging, residential elderly care, and household help. Operates under identical WMO/WLZ/Zvw funding frameworks with a comparable rural Dutch community-care model.
- Rosengaerde: Regional elderly care provider in Dedemsvaart (Overijssel) of similar scale and service mix to ZGR — residential, home nursing, and household help. Already a strategic ICT joint-venture partner of ZGR from July 2026, making it the closest operational peer.
- Thebe: Regional care provider in West Brabant operating residential locations, home care, and dementia case management. Similar integrated elderly-care platform with comparable headcount scale to ZGR.
Broad incumbents
- Espria: Dutch healthcare group that owns and operates multiple care brands including Evean, covering residential elderly care, home care, and welfare services nationwide. Operates a much broader portfolio than ZGR's Salland-only focus.
- Evean: Large Dutch elderly care and home care operator (part of Espria group) active across multiple regions with a broader portfolio spanning residential, home care, and welfare services. Comparable service lines but operates at materially larger scale than ZGR.
Emerging players
- Buurtzorg Nederland: Pioneer of the small-team district nursing model in the Netherlands, operating in Salland and adjacent regions. Competes with ZGR's wijkverpleging arm but uses a fundamentally different lean self-managed team structure rather than ZGR's mixed residential-plus-home model.
