Netwerk Dementie Drenthe

What Netwerk Dementie Drenthe does

Netwerk Dementie Drenthe & Steenwijkerland is a Dutch non-profit regional coordination network (samenwerkingsverband) that organizes and routes dementia care services across the province of Drenthe and the Steenwijkerland region. It serves people with dementia and their informal caregivers by acting as the central information and referral hub — connecting users to case managers, Alzheimer and Jungheimer cafés, Odensehuizen meeting centers, the Dementheek resource library, caregiver support lines, respite care, housing-with-care options, and the Levenspad Dementie online guidance tool. The core "technology" is a network coordination platform linking 40+ participating organizations, including all Drenthe municipalities, regional hospitals (Isala, WZA), national and regional home care groups (Buurtzorg, Icare, Allerzorg, Thuiszorg Nederland), care groups (Treant Zorggroep, Tangenborgh, Saxenburghgroep), mental health providers (GGZ Drenthe, Lentis), and welfare organizations (Cosis, Tintengroep, Odensehuizen).

The portfolio of offerings is organized regionally: Regio Drenthe delivers casemanagement, Alzheimer/Jungheimercafés, Odensehuizen, the Dementheek, and per-municipality Wegwijzers; Regio Steenwijkerland adds mantelzorg support, wonen met zorg, respijtzorg, Alzheimer Trefpunt, and geestelijke gezondheidszorg. For professionals, the network publishes an Informatiemap Casemanager Dementie, runs Scholing en Trainingen programs, and maintains waiting-list information for casemanagement referrals. Specialized tracks cover young-onset dementia, dementia with migration backgrounds, and severe problem behavior under the Wet zorg en dwang (Wzd).

The business model is non-commercial: the network is funded through its participating municipalities, the province of Drenthe, and partner healthcare organizations rather than through service fees or product sales. It does not own proprietary software, has no app, no patents, no investors, no parent company, and no disclosed revenue. Operations run with approximately 5 employees across two coordination offices (Assen at GGZ Drenthe Nijlandsborg and Meppel), with primary go-to-market executed through healthcare-provider referrals, municipal partnership outreach, and community-based support groups rather than traditional digital marketing channels.
