Samen Zorg Huis Leudal

What Samen Zorg Huis Leudal does

Samen Zorg Huis Leudal (SZHL) is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting Samen Zorgen Huis Leudal, KvK 53630181, ANBI-certified) operating a community-based short-term residential care and hospice facility in the former Mariabosch monastery in Baexem, municipality of Leudal, Limburg province, Netherlands. Founded on September 21, 2011 and opened on April 29, 2019, the 18-apartment facility serves patients who no longer require hospital admission but cannot yet return home, individuals needing short-term medical observation, respite care recipients, bridge care patients awaiting nursing home or rehabilitation placement, and palliative/hospice patients. Maximum stay is 3 months, extendable once by medical indication.

The operating model combines professional healthcare delivery with extensive volunteer engagement. Professional nursing and medical care are delivered by partner Proteion (a recognized regional care organization under bestuurder Bjorn Ceresa) and reimbursed by Dutch health insurers CZ and VGZ under the Eerstelijnsverblijf (ELV) daily-rate framework. The foundation itself is governed by an unpaid volunteer board (Chairman Wiel Derikx, Secretary Gonny Bocken, Treasurer Ruud Müller, board members Frans Vrancken, Francette van den Esker, Wim Zusterzeel) and is operationally supported by a large volunteer base from the Leudal community handling care support, kitchen, garden, reception, activities, and technical functions. The idea originated with district nurse and care architect Pieter van der Hooft, who engaged local GPs Pieter van de Ven and Nicky Martens from 2010.

Revenue comprises four streams: (1) healthcare insurance reimbursement flowing via Proteion's health insurer contracts, (2) tax-deductible donations from individuals and businesses via the ANBI-certified 'Vrienden van SZHL' (Friends of SZHL) program, (3) subsidies and sponsorships from Gemeente Leudal, Provincie Limburg, and local businesses for special projects, and (4) bequests and legacies. Go-to-market is exclusively referral-based through GPs (huisartsen), district nurses (wijkverpleegkundige), and medical specialists — patients cannot self-refer. The organization reports 5 employees and does not own subsidiaries, intellectual property in the form of patents or trademarks, or proprietary technology beyond standard third-party healthcare IT systems.

Products and services

• Kortdurende Zorg (Short-term Care) Short-term residential care (Eerstelijnsverblijf / ELV) for patients who no longer need hospital admission but cannot yet return home.

Maximum stay is 3 months, extendable once by another 3 months in exceptional cases. Care is delivered by Proteion nurses together with community volunteers.

• Overbruggingszorg (Bridge Care) Temporary residential placement for patients whose full recovery is not possible or will take longer than 3 months, while they await admission to a nursing home or rehabilitation center.
• Volunteer Care Support Program Structured volunteer roles supporting the facility's care delivery, including care volunteers (assistance with personal care), kitchen and dining support, garden maintenance, guest and family support, activity organization, reception, and technical services.
• Vrienden van SZHL (Friends of SZHL) Donor / membership program enabling individuals and businesses to financially support SZHL through one-time or periodic gifts.
