Villande

What Villande does

Villande is a Dutch non-profit foundation (Stichting) operating small-scale residential care for young adults aged 18-35 with mild to moderate intellectual disabilities in Apeldoorn, Netherlands. The organization was founded in 2015 under the legal name Stichting Wooninitiatief Villande and runs two residential houses — Mariannalaan (opened 2015) and Koninginnelaan (opened 2018) — together serving 25-27 residents across care levels zzp 3/4/5/6. Care is funded through the Dutch PGB-WLZ (Personal Budget under the Long-term Care Act), with residents contributing rent and service costs from their Wajong disability benefits.

The core offering is supported housing with a stated philosophy of permanence, small scale, and community integration. In September 2020 Villande extended its model by founding Stichting Villande Werkt, a separate foundation that provides day activities and employment support, including operation of Brasserie The Mixer — a social enterprise café within the Bedrijfsverzamelgebouw The Mixer in Apeldoorn Zuid where residents gain work experience alongside caregivers. Volunteer placements at a neighborhood center (Buurthuis) and a petting zoo (Kinderboerderij) are part of the same work/day program.

Villande is governed by a two-person board (John Aalbers and Elma de Leeuw) overseeing all three foundations, with a team of 11 employees consisting of caregivers with pedagogical and/or nursing backgrounds, supported by interns and volunteers. There is no proprietary technology platform; the organization relies on direct service delivery, Dutch healthcare regulatory compliance (Wkkgz), and affiliation with the Geschillencommissie Zorg Algemeen for dispute resolution. There are no external investors, no funding rounds, and no M&A activity disclosed.
