HET HAVENHUIS

What HET HAVENHUIS does

Het Havenhuis is a Belgian non-profit (vzw) care facility headquartered at Lostraat 3K, Lo-Reninge, in the Westhoek region. It specializes exclusively in the care and support of adults with non-congenital brain injury (NAH), offering three integrated service lines: 24-hour residential care ("Wonen bij ons") in a purpose-built home-like setting; structured day support ("Dagondersteuning") combining therapeutic and recreational programming; and a mobile outreach service, Rechtstreeks Toegankelijke Hulp, that delivers up to 8 VAPH points per client per year to NAH adults without an existing dossier. Clinical services span snoezelen (sensory stimulation), ergotherapy, speech therapy, basal stimulation, and care coordination with a house physician, supported by an in-house paramedical team.

The underlying "technology" of the facility is therapeutic methodology and physical infrastructure rather than software: a dedicated snoezelroom, the interactive De Tovertafel projection system, accessible gardens, a wheelchair bike, and individualized action plans. There is no AI, no public API, and no software platform product. The organization operates under VAPH authorization alongside WVLCOR, VIPACOR, LOTCOR, and ABSOLCOR recognitions.

Het Havenhuis is funded through Flemish government VAPH subsidies for residential, day, and RTH services, supplemented by donations that qualify for 45% tax attestation above EUR 40. Since January 1, 2022, Het Havenhuis has been part of De Lovie vzw, a larger licensed care provider supporting children, youth, and adults with disabilities across the Westhoek region, which provides administrative, personnel, and strategic backing. Distribution is regional and direct: one residential site plus mobile outreach, with referrals channeled via physicians, rehabilitation centers, and VAPH case managers, and community positioning reinforced through the Zorgzaam Lo-Reninge neighborhood initiative.

• Sint-Maarten vzw: Belgian/Flemish residential care organization for persons with disabilities. Comparable as a VAPH-licensed residential provider operating small-scale home-like facilities for specialized populations, with similar funding, staffing, and regulatory frameworks as Het Havenhuis.

Others
