What De Wijkverpleging does

De Wijkverpleging is a privately held home healthcare (wijkverpleging/thuiszorg) provider operating in Rotterdam, Netherlands, since 2007 under the legal entity Care by Us B.V. The company delivers personalized in-home care across eight coordinated service lines: personal care (Persoonlijke verzorging), home nursing (Verpleging thuis), wound care (Wondzorg thuis), palliative and terminal care, needs assessment (Indicatiestelling), night care (Nachtzorg), and guidance/support (Begeleiding), supplemented by an e-health and safe-living add-on module. Care is delivered by certified, BIG-registered nurses and qualified caregivers with cultural-sensitivity training, supported by a structured intake and individualized care-plan process, and a 24/7 phone-and-web intake operation. The company positions itself on personal attention, fixed caregiver assignments, and coordination with informal carers and family.

The technology footprint is operationally focused rather than product-led. Care documentation, planning, and client records run on the Nedap ONS electronic client health record system, a widely adopted Dutch healthcare platform. Intake is processed through HTTPS-secured forms with encrypted, time-limited storage and separated public/management environments, satisfying AVG/WGBO compliance requirements. The company holds multiple sector certifications (PREZO digital quality mark, BINKZ membership, SPOT network membership, Erkend Leerbedrijf status with SBB, and a ZorgkaartNederland review profile) that function as regulatory and reputational moats.

Revenue is generated through reimbursement under three Dutch public frameworks — the Health Insurance Act (Zorgverzekeringswet), the Long-term Care Act (Wet langdurige zorg), and the Social Support Act (Wet maatschappelijke ondersteuning) — depending on client indication. The go-to-market is hybrid: direct-to-consumer via website, phone, and email intake, combined with a referral channel from general practitioners, hospitals, and transfer nurses. The company has no disclosed funding, no acquisitions, no mobile application, and no public revenue figures. Geographic scope is currently limited to Rotterdam (including Rotterdam-Zuid), and active hiring (four open clinical positions as of the latest data) signals modest capacity expansion rather than geographic or vertical growth.
