What Stichting WonenPlus does

Stichting WonenPlus is a Dutch non-profit healthcare foundation (Stichting) headquartered in Geleen, Netherlands, that delivers integrated disability-care services across the province of Limburg. The organization serves approximately 230 clients with intellectual, physical, and/or psychiatric disabilities through five core service lines: residential care (Wonen) ranging from 24-hour supported small-scale housing to independent living, day-care activities (Dagbesteding) including creative workshops, gardening, sports, cooking, and hospitality training, ambulatory guidance (Ambulante Begeleiding) delivered in clients' own homes or rented housing, paid work placement (Betaald Werk), and volunteer coordination (Vrijwilligerswerk). Services are accessed through formal Dutch care indications and funded via the Wlz (Long-term Care Act), Wmo (Social Support Act), and Zv (Health Insurance Act), which channel reimbursement through healthcare insurers and municipalities. Operations span 13 physical locations across Limburg (including Geleen, Sittard, Maastricht, Eijsden, Weert, Nederweert, Brunssum, Rijckholt, and Oud Geleen) and are supported by 230+ employees.

The underlying technology stack is light and primarily assistive rather than proprietary. The organization has deployed a third-party social robot branded 'Groentje' that automates daily check-ins, medication reminders, wake-up prompts, and rest scheduling, while playing Spotify playlists and daily jokes; client responses are forwarded to care staff. WonenPlus also operates ABCDate, a safe moderated online meeting platform and closed Facebook group ('+Contact') for clients aged 18+ with intellectual disabilities, supporting profile creation, chat, and free activities. Day-care clients participate in an assembly-work pilot (launched April 2025) with Werken Centraal, performing tasks such as curtain-rail and protective-panel assembly for logistics-supplied materials. Governance includes a client council (cliëntenraad, active since 2005), a Board of Directors, a Supervisory Board, and a recently introduced works council (2026).

The business model is non-profit fee-for-service within regulated Dutch healthcare funding frameworks, with no equity investment, no venture or growth funding, and no public revenue disclosure. The organization is party to the Samenkr8 consortium of 8 Limburg disability providers (including Koraal, Pergamijn, PSW, Radar, SGL, Daelzicht) and operates a joint podcast series on informal care. Marketing is conducted through the company website (wonenplus.nl), Facebook, YouTube, an EasyCruit recruitment portal, and earned media features including an SBS6 appearance in the 'Bouwen aan de Toekomst' program. Leadership comprises Bestuurder Will Linssen and Manager HR Elise Boonen.
