ZorgWiel

What ZorgWiel does

Stichting ZorgWiel is a Dutch non-profit foundation (stichting) that provides residential care and daily support to people with intellectual disabilities through a network of 14 small-scale woonhuizen and gezinshuizen concentrated in the Gelderland and North Brabant provinces. The organization serves two principal customer segments: individuals with intellectual disabilities requiring protected living environments with daily guidance, and their families seeking homelike, high-involvement care arrangements. Care delivery is operationalized through individual personal plans (Mijn Plan) and personal development goals (Mijn Doelen), supported by the in-house LACCS orthopedagogical methodology developed by Karin de Geeter and Kirsten Munsterman, which structures support across five life domains: physical wellbeing, alertness, contact, communication, and stimulating activities. The organization is structured around parent-initiated residential homes (ouder initiatieven), each with working team leaders (meewerkend teamleiders) and a flat governance model comprising a Board of Supervisors, Staff and Executive team, Residents Council (Bewonersraad), and Works Council.

The underlying technology stack is deliberately lean: ONS Nedap serves as the core care-management system for clinical documentation and tracking, while program delivery relies on the LACCS methodology and standardized personal-planning templates rather than bespoke platforms. The business model is a government-funded subscription model under the Dutch WLZ (Wet langdurige zorg) framework, where residents receive WLZ indications that fund their care; there is no direct out-of-pocket pricing for residents. Staff compensation is governed by the CAO Gehandicaptenzorg collective labor agreement (e.g., FWG 35 scale €2,597–€3,635 per month on a 36-hour workweek). Go-to-market is community-led, relying on word-of-mouth, parent networks, the residents council, and referrals through the Dutch healthcare system, supplemented by organic digital channels (website, newsletter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Facebook, YouTube). The organization holds certifications including Happy Fit Workplace (2024) and complies with the Wet Zorg en Dwang and GDPR, and is affiliated with the Geschillencommissie Zorg for dispute resolution.
