Chiqcare Woonzorg

What Chiqcare Woonzorg does

ChiqCare Woonzorg B.V. is a Dutch for-profit care provider founded in 2013 and headquartered in Soest, operating across the Eemland region in the province of Utrecht. The company delivers sheltered housing (beschermd wonen), supported/guided living (begeleid wonen), ambulatory care at clients' homes (ambulante zorg), and structured day activities (dagbesteding) for adults with autism spectrum disorders (ASS), psychiatric conditions, or mild-to-moderate intellectual disabilities. The organization deliberately keeps living groups small to optimize quality of life and pathways toward independent living, with documented client progression cases (e.g., residents transitioning to greater autonomy after multi-year stays). Service delivery is staff-led with approximately 55-70 employees, supported by specialized training such as the Fiept Autisme Training delivered with a behavioral scientist, and protected by an active client council (cliëntenraad). No proprietary technology platform is in use.

ChiqCare monetizes exclusively through Dutch public healthcare funding channels: the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo) under municipal contracts and the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz) via regional care offices (zorgkantoren), with Personal Budget (PGB) payments administered through the Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB). Pricing is hourly and reference-rate driven (€37.80/hr practical support, €55.00/hr individual guidance and personal care, €65.48/hr specialist care as per 2016-2017 municipality approvals), billed monthly — a subscription-recurring revenue model constrained by government rate-setting. Go-to-market is sales-led but referral-driven: clients enter via municipal Wmo indications and care office Wlz assignments, with intake conversations and fit assessments conducted by ChiqCare.

The organization is independently owned (no parent company, no disclosed external funding), governed by a three-person Raad van Commissarissen (Supervisory Board) including senior disability and child psychiatry sector veterans, and certified to NEN-EN-ISO 9001:2015 by KIWA Nederland. Operations span multiple residential and day-activity locations across Soest and Amersfoort, with a new six-resident facility opened in Amersfoort city center in November 2025, signaling measured organic regional expansion rather than venture-scale growth.

Revenue model

1. Wmo-funded care (Gemeente): Municipal-funded care under the Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning (Wmo), where the municipality releases a PGB (Personal Budget) for practical and/or specialist guidance hours per week, in consultation with the involved municipality.
2. Wlz-funded care (Zorgkantoor): Long-term care funding under the Wet langdurige zorg (Wlz), contracted through the care office (zorgkantoor). Clients receive care either through Zorg In Natura (care purchased by a contracted municipality) or through a PGB.
3. Personal Budget (PGB) payments via SVB: Clients with a PGB receive monthly payments from the Sociale Verzekeringsbank (SVB) which are transferred to ChiqCare for rendered care services. Hourly rates are charged for Individual Guidance, Personal Care, and Practical Support.
