Description of organisation

Van Neynsel Stichting is a non-profit (foundation) health care provider in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, Vught and surroundings. With their expertise, they provide care at home and from their residential care centers in ‘s-Hertogenbosch and Vught. More than 1000 people work at Van Neynsel, plus more than 400 volunteers. Van Neynsel Stichting is a healthcare provider in the region with expertise in dealing with unconventional behavior by old people with dementia. Van Neynsel intends to give valuable care for their clients, and to be a pleasant organization for the professional and volunteer to work for. They put effort in their employees and volunteers to connect them, improve the team spirit and take care of personal development. It is an innovative organization which has resulted in e.g. Boswijk which is a health care home where people live in 12 "houses", each with 10 clients. In each "house", clients live there with their own social background so the clients are used to the habits and customs which gives a domestic atmosphere. On the outside of the house (but within the walls) there is a round "street" where the clients can walk. On the street it is colder than inside the house, and the street is round because people with dementia like to walk.
