What Van Andel Ouderenpsychiatrie does

Van Andel Ouderenpsychiatrie is a specialized geriatric psychiatry division of GGZ Friesland, the largest mental healthcare provider in the Dutch province of Friesland. The organization provides psychiatric assessment, treatment, and guidance primarily to individuals aged 60 and older who experience psychological problems that limit daily functioning, including depression, anxiety, memory loss, confusion, loneliness, and grief. It also serves a secondary segment of younger individuals with combined physical vulnerability and psychiatric problems. Care is structured around three modalities: outpatient treatment (consultations at home or at clinics with psychologists, nurses, and medication management), day treatment (an intensive daytime program positioned between outpatient and inpatient care), and clinical inpatient care (residential treatment at the specialized Parlevinker location in Harlingen).

A multidisciplinary clinical team delivers the care, combining psychiatrists, psychologists, geriatricians, creative and music therapists, system therapists, nursing specialists, social psychiatric nurses, and psychomotor therapists. Supporting digital infrastructure includes the Mijn Van Andel client portal and the Caren 3.0 patient information platform, alongside a Mindfulness+ adjunct program. Six physical sites across Friesland (Heerenveen, Harlingen, Dokkum, Sneek, Leeuwarden/Hege Wier, Drachten) provide regional access.

The business model is reimbursed mental healthcare under the Dutch ggz system. Patients cannot self-enroll and must obtain a general practitioner referral, which triggers mandatory health insurance coverage. Van Andel contracts with all major Dutch health insurers for 2026 (Achmea, CZ, VGZ, Menzis, ASR, DSW, Salland, ONVZ). The organization is part of GGZ Friesland, which also operates the Kinnik and MindUp brands, holds NEN 7510 information security certification, and is engaged in a multi-year capital program including the new Middelsee facility.
