Wittenbergzorg

What Wittenbergzorg does

Wittenbergzorg is a Dutch non-profit (Stichting Wittenbergzorg, ANBI status) elderly care organization founded in 1966 in Haaften, serving the municipality of West Betuwe in the Rivierenland region of the Netherlands. Under a Protestant-Christian identity and the 'Wij van Wittenbergzorg' brand, it delivers a comprehensive elderly care portfolio organized around three delivery models: residential care at woonzorgcentrum De Wittenberg in Haaften (Wlz-funded), 'Zorg aan huis' district-team home nursing (Zvw-funded), and 'Zorg dichtbij' Full Package at Home (VPT). Supporting services include day care and well-being activities (Wmo/Wlz), the Odense Huiskamer for dementia, palliative care, the Tafeltje Dekje meal delivery service, and Restaurant De Gastenhof. The technology stack combines an Electronic Client Record (ECD) and SDB Octopus CliëntApp with third-party assistive devices (Medido medication dispenser, Compaan video tablet, Sensara lifestyle sensors, personal alarms with leefcirkels), positioning the organization as a 'zorgverbinder' that links family caregivers, volunteers (coordinated since 2025 by mantelzorgcoaches), and community partners.

Revenue is generated almost entirely from regulated Dutch healthcare funding streams (Wlz residential and VPT via VGZ Zorgkantoor, Zvw home nursing via health insurers, Wmo day care via Gemeente West Betuwe), supplemented by meal fees at Tafeltje Dekje and Restaurant De Gastenhof, transactions in the wellbeing pass (Welzijnspas), and donations to Stichting Vrienden van Wittenbergzorg (e.g., €2,000 from Kringloopwinkel De Cirkel in April 2025 and €7,500 for a wheelchair bus in December 2024). Distribution runs through the organization's own district teams and care center, anchored by a Zorg Advies Punt intake channel; the GTM is community-led and referral-driven via GPs, pharmacies, municipalities, the Trazor transmural network, and the Zorgalliantie Rivierenland alliance with Huis ter Leede and Ankerzorg. The real estate at Bernhardstraat 4 was transferred to Woonstichting De Kernen in June 2025 under a rental and cooperation agreement, separating property ownership from care operations. Governance rests with bestuurder Evert van Luttikhuizen (since May 2023) and a five-member Raad van Toezicht chaired by J.M. de Heer-Verheij.

2. Volledig Pakket Thuis (VPT) - Care Close By: Zorg dichtbij (Care Close By) is funded through the Volledig Pakket Thuis (VPT) under Wlz, combining nursing, personal care, meals, household support, wellbeing and social support in a comprehensive package for clients living independently near the care center.

4. Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning (Wmo) - Day Care & Wellbeing: Day care, wellbeing activities and social support are funded through the Wet Maatschappelijke Ondersteuning (Wmo) commissioned by municipality West Betuwe, and may also be funded through personal budgets (pgb).
5. Tafeltje Dekje - Meal Delivery Service: Warm meal delivery service (Tafeltje Dekje) delivered in collaboration with Welzijn West Betuwe volunteers. Revenue is generated through meal fees charged to clients, partially subsidized through community partnerships.
6. Restaurant De Gastenhof: Restaurant De Gastenhof generates revenue through meal purchases by clients, family members, visitors and community members. A welzijnspas (wellbeing pass) is used to access and pay for activities and restaurant benefits.
