Thuiszorg Familiezorg

What Thuiszorg Familiezorg does

Familiezorg West-Vlaanderen vzw, operating as Thuiszorg Familiezorg, is a Belgian non-profit association (vzw) headquartered in Brugge that delivers a comprehensive portfolio of subsidized home-based care services across West Flanders and East Flanders (via Thuiszorg De Zon). Founded in 1948 with approximately 125 employees, the organization operates from more than ten local offices including Aalter, Diksmuide, Ieper, Knokke-Heist, Kortrijk, Oostende, Roeselare, Tielt, and Torhout, supported by three specialized facilities: the Provinciaal Familiezorghuis (provincial family care house), the Opleidingscentrum Brugge (training academy), and the Paramedicahuis (home nursing center). Its sub-brands include De Wieg (birth and newborn care), Paramedica (RIZIV-recognized home nursing, 40 years in operation in 2025), Foton (dementia care), and Graag Gedaan (handyman services).

The service catalog spans thirteen categories: urgent 24/7 care, family care across age groups, evening care, birth and postpartum care, home nursing, household help, volunteer-supported care, handyman services, occupational therapy, psychological care, dementia care, case management, and a community meeting place (Kopje Troost). Service delivery relies on a hybrid model of professional nursing and caregiver staff augmented by a structured volunteer network organized into specialized programs (daytime assistance, overnight sitting, dementia, disability, logistics, reception). The organization also runs a training academy producing certified caregivers (verzorgende/zorgkundige), creating an internal talent pipeline.

The business model is that of a publicly subsidized home care provider: revenue is derived primarily from Flemish government subsidies (Vlaamse overheid recognition numbers GEZ003, OPP457/501/502/503/555/556), federal health insurance reimbursements via RIZIV (group number 94020813001 for Paramedica), VDAB workforce funding, European Social Fund (ESF) support, and supplementary financing from local municipalities and donors. End-user pricing is not publicly disclosed because services are partially or fully covered by public insurance and subsidies. Distribution is direct-to-home across West Flanders, with marketing conducted via social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), a news blog ("Familiezorg leeft!"), and community information sessions.
