To first understand Neighbourhood Care, we need to talk a little bit about the Netherland\u2019s largest home-care provider, Buurtzorg. Founded in 2006, the organisation has gained worldwide recognition and expanded into 26 countries by utilising its revolutionary, unique, and critically-praised \u201cflat\u201d organisational model. Not only does this model reduce bureaucracy and improve communication, it has also been shown to increase both employee and client satisfaction. Why is this relevant? Well, the name \u201cBuurtzorg\u201d directly translates into \u201cNeighbourhood Care\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is a \u201cflat\u201d organisation?<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Essentially, a flat organisation\u00a0operates without any levels of middle management. What does that mean? By removing middle managers, we give our teams (the people who know you best)\u00a0maximum\u00a0autonomy to make decisions with you\u00a0regarding your care\u00a0while reducing\u00a0bureaucracy in the decision-making process.\u00a0Not only does this empower\u00a0our teams,\u00a0but it also\u00a0improves communication and\u00a0aids in\u00a0building\u00a0strong, meaningful, and lasting\u00a0relationships with\u00a0your support\u00a0workers, nurses, and allied health professionals\u2014thus, improving the quality of your care.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
