Hospice Schagen

What Hospice Schagen does

Hospice Schagen (Stichting Hospice Schagen) is a Dutch non-profit foundation established on 21 April 2011 and headquartered at Johan Vermeerstraat 1, Schagen, Netherlands. It operates a small-scale 'bijna-thuis-huis' (almost-at-home house) providing 24/7 palliative terminal care across six private apartments for people in their final phase of life whose care cannot continue at home due to family or living circumstances. Professional nursing is delivered in partnership with WZG Samen, supplemented by more than 100 trained volunteers who provide direct care, cooking, gardening, household, PR, and home-support services. The organization holds ANBI public-benefit status, is a member of VPTZ Nederland, and offers complementary therapies (aromatherapy, hand/foot massage, a heated blanket cabinet, and a bladderscan device) to enhance guest comfort.

The business model is hybrid: recurring reimbursement from Dutch healthcare insurance and WLZ subsidies for palliative care services is combined with a substantial philanthropic layer including one-time donations, periodieke giften, Club van 100 memberships, bequests, sponsorships, and community fundraising events. Go-to-market is community-led: referrals come from WZG Samen case managers, HKN Huisartsen general practitioners, and word-of-mouth from bereaved families, supported by an organic presence across Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, a regular newsletter, monthly coffee mornings, open days, Café Doodgewoon, and local media coverage. Beyond residential care, the organization delivers home-based palliative support through case managers and volunteers (Ondersteuning Thuis, Casemanagement) and launched the 'Waardig Sterven' initiative in 2024 to extend volunteer deployment into patients' homes. Staffing consists of four paid employees (director, administrative employee, two household staff, and an intake coordinator), with operations overseen by a six-person board and governed as a non-profit foundation with no individual control over assets.
