GAW Forum Sint-Hermes is physically located on the AZ Glorieux campus in Ronse.

Others

• i-mens: Flemish non-profit home care organization providing family care, cleaning, and elderly support services across Flanders. Operates in the same regulatory framework and elderly care continuum, enabling aging in place rather than residential admission — complementary rather than directly competing.
• Familiehulp: Major Flemish home care services provider (gezinszorg en aanvullende thuiszorg), offering personal care, household help, and family support. Partner of Ouderenzorg Glorieux for assisted living residents needing additional in-home support; an enabler of the aging-in-place model.
• Wit-Gele Kruis Vlaanderen: Largest home nursing organization in Flanders, providing thuisverpleging services that complement — rather than compete with — WZC De Samaritaan's residential offering. Referenced in the company's partnership ecosystem for residents aging in place at GAW Jericho and GAW Forum Sint-Hermes assisted living apartments.

Direct peers

• Vulpia: Belgian residential care group operating woonzorgcentra and assisted living across Flanders and Wallonia. Direct comparable in scale and service mix to Ouderenzorg Glorieux's portfolio, providing residential, short-stay, and dementia care under a similar Flemish regulatory framework.
• Korian Belgium: European-listed elderly care leader (Korian SA, France) with a Belgian portfolio of residential care centers, assisted living, and home care services. Operates woonzorgcentra across Belgium with comparable service offerings (residential, short-stay, dementia) but with international scale, capital access, and standardized operating model.
• Orpea Belgium: Major international long-term care group (Orpea SA, France) operating residential care facilities and clinics across Belgium. Comparable in offering full-service elderly care including dementia units and short-stay, and competes directly for staff and quality reputation, though with significantly larger group-level resources.
• Armonea (Colisée Belgium): Largest private elderly care operator in Belgium (now part of French Colisée group), running dozens of woonzorgcentra across Flanders and Wallonia. Directly comparable to WZC De Samaritaan in offering residential, assisted living, and dementia care, but at significantly larger scale and with capital-raising ability as a for-profit operator.

Broad incumbents

• Zorgbedrijf Antwerpen: Municipal autonomous elderly care organization (AGB) operating dozens of woonzorgcentra and assisted living across Antwerp. Comparable in mission (non-profit public-interest elderly care) and full-service offering, but at much larger scale and with public-sector capital backing rather than hospital-group affiliation.
• OCMW / CAW elderly care facilities (Flanders): Public-sector municipal social welfare centers (Openbaar Centrum voor Maatschappelijk Welzijn) across Flanders that operate woonzorgcentra, assisted living, and day care under the same regulatory framework as WZC De Samaritaan. Compete for the same residents and staff in the Flemish residential care market.
