Becoming a care entrepreneur at De Drie Notenboomen

Running your own care location as a franchisee

Are you a healthcare professional who wants to contribute to personal, small-scale care as an entrepreneur? Through De Drie Notenboomen, independent care entrepreneurs work every day to provide a comfortable home for people with care needs. They do so across our care concepts: Herbergier, Thomashuis, Zorgbutler, and Thomas Op Kamers.

As a franchise organisation, we support care entrepreneurs in starting, taking over, and running a location. This includes guidance, training, coaching, quality assurance, real estate, and communications.

What is care entrepreneurship?

Care entrepreneurship is different from being an employee. As a care entrepreneur, you direct the daily care, your team, and your own business—for Herbergier and Thomashuis, together with your life partner. You operate within a proven care concept while also bringing your own knowledge and experience to the role. For Herbergier and Thomashuis, you and your partner also live on-site in a private apartment.

Care entrepreneurs consciously choose small-scale living, personal attention, and responsibility. They know their residents well and stay close to their team, relatives, and day-to-day operations. While they receive advice and support from DDN as franchisor, they are ultimately responsible for running their location.
