Core offering

Personalized Nursing Services (UCARE Services Belgique) delivers professional home nursing care to patients across French-speaking Belgium, with nurses traveling to residences 7 days a week, 24 hours a day to perform general nursing, palliative care, hygiene care, blood tests, wound care, dialysis, and physiotherapy. The company also places nursing staff in hospital institutions under contract, operates an outpatient health center in La Louvière, and sells and rents medical equipment for home use.

Product overview

UCare Services Belgique operates as a unified healthcare services platform offering four interconnected service brands: Ucare at Home (home nursing care), Ucare Inside (institutional nursing), Ucare City (health center), and Ucare Furnitures (medical equipment). Originally founded as Personalized Nursing Services (PNS) in 2000, the company joined the UCare Services franchise in 2014 and rebranded to UCare Services Belgique in December 2018. Services range from direct nursing care (general care, palliative care, hygiene, blood tests, physiotherapy, dialysis, wound care) to medical equipment provision and a digital mobile application launched in 2019. The company also expanded into institutional care in 2003 and opened a health center in La Louvière.

Broad incumbents

• Croix-Rouge de Belgique: Belgian Red Cross operates home care and home nursing services nationally through its network. Comparable as a large incumbent home healthcare provider in the same Belgian market with overlapping service offerings.
• DomusVi: Major European provider of nursing homes, assisted living, and home care services. Comparable in elder care service mix, though with significant facility-based operations in addition to home care.
• Korian: Major European operator of nursing homes, clinics, and home care services. Comparable in elder care service delivery, though at significantly larger scale and with a broader facility-based footprint than UCare.
• Senior Living Group: Belgian operator of nursing homes, assisted living, and home care services. Comparable as an integrated elder care provider in Belgium, though with greater emphasis on residential facilities versus UCare's home-nursing-centric model.
• Orpea: Large European nursing home, post-acute, and home healthcare operator. Comparable in providing nursing and care services across multiple settings, though primarily focused on residential facilities.

Direct peers

• Home Instead Belgique: Belgian franchise of the global Home Instead network providing in-home care services for seniors. Comparable franchise model, target demographic, and home-based care delivery to UCare's Ucare at Home brand.
• Wit-Gele Kruis: Largest home nursing organization in Flanders, Belgium, providing skilled nursing visits and home care across the country. Directly comparable to UCare's home nursing model, though geographically concentrated in Flanders versus UCare's Wallonia focus.
