Zeeuwse Gronden

What Zeeuwse Gronden does

Zeeuwse Gronden is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Terneuzen that delivers integrated mental health care for people with serious psychiatric conditions. Founded in 2005 out of a 2003 family-association symposium organized by Ypsilon, the organization combines protected housing, multidisciplinary treatment under the FACT (Flexible Assertive Community Treatment) model, day activities, ambulatory support, and youth services. As of 2025–2026 it operates approximately 15 residential locations across Zeeland and South Holland plus 11 day-activity sites, including social restaurants, an equitherapy center (De Kraaghoeve), creative studios, and nature-maintenance programs. The clinical product set spans basic and specialist GGZ, equitherapie, e-health programs, and a newly established EDI-team for early psychosis detection and intervention.

The business model is funded through three Dutch public payment channels: health insurance (Zvw) for treatment within basis-ggz and specialistische ggz, with contracts held with all Dutch health insurers in 2026 (subject to a waitlist for Zilveren Kruis admissions from January 2026); municipalities under the Wmo for guidance and day activities; and the Wlz for long-term protected living. End-client out-of-pocket is limited to the mandatory insurance deductible (€385 in 2026) and CAK-administered means-tested contributions. The go-to-market is referral-only, channelled through GPs (operating via the Zeeuwse Huisartsen Coöperatie), POH-GGZ practitioners, and municipal social services; there is no self-serve intake. Distribution is anchored in formal partnerships with regional housing corporations (Woongoed Zeeuws-Vlaanderen, Clavis, Oost West Wonen, Maasdelta, Woonbron) and municipalities (Terneuzen, Nissewaard, Voorne aan Zee, Goeree-Overflakkee, Hoeksche Waard), which co-finance and provide physical locations for protected housing.

The organization is expanding geographically from its Zeeland base into the South Holland islands (Dirksland, Spijkenisse, Rotterdam) and is pursuing Milieuthermometer Zorg environmental certification by end-2027. It holds HKZ, FACT, and Keurmerk Basis GGZ accreditations and is ANBI-registered. Headcount stands at approximately 300 employees, and the 2025 client-satisfaction score (CQi) is 7.7 out of 10.

Revenue model

1. Health Insurance (Treatment): Treatment within basic or specialist mental healthcare (basis-ggz and specialistische ggz) is covered by health insurance as part of the basic package. No patient contribution is required beyond the mandatory deductible (eigen risico). Zeeuwse Gronden holds contracts with all Dutch health insurers in 2026. New admissions covered by Zilveren Kruis are placed on a waitlist from 01-01-2026 due to insufficient contract terms.
2. Municipal Funding (Wmo) — Begeleiding en Dagbesteding: Guidance and day activities (begeleiding and dagbesteding) are funded by municipalities under the Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning (Wmo). Municipalities may charge a client contribution administered by the CAK.
3. Long-term Care Insurance (Wlz) — Beschermd Wonen: Residential care within protected living locations is funded under the Wet Langdurige Zorg (Wlz) or Wmo. A client contribution is charged by the CAK. Children and youth (under 18) are funded entirely by the municipality with no client contribution.
