Bold Digital Transformation in the Senior Market
Woonzorg Netherlands
When it comes to innovation in elderly care, Woonzorg Nederland shows they are not afraid to think ahead. With the launch of the Woonzorg ThuisApp, they take a major step in digital transformation, focusing on the well-being and engagement of their residents. This app, developed by OrangeMelons, bridges technology and humanity, offering a smart solution to an important challenge: improving communication and connection among residents.
A mission of connection
Woonzorg Nederland, a national housing corporation, is a trusted name for seniors seeking comfortable living. With an impressive portfolio of 43,000 homes spread across 170 municipalities—30,000 rented to private individuals and 13,000 to care institutions—they understand better than anyone how vital it is to maintain a sense of community. For their residents, communication is not just a service; it’s a basic need. With the ThuisApp, we aimed to create something that was not only practical, but also personal.
From vision
to reality
The journey to the Woonzorg ThuisApp began with a clear vision: a user-friendly platform to inform, connect, and support residents. The needs of both residents and staff were carefully analyzed, leading to an app that combines multiple features, such as:
– Digital participation: Residents stay informed about the latest news and scheduled activities.
– Repair requests: With just a few taps, residents can easily submit repair requests.
– Communication platform: A secure environment where residents can connect with one another and organize activities.
– Efficiency for staff: Smart API integrations with Woonzorg’s backend systems streamline staff workflows and significantly reduce errors.
With no less than 40,000 active users, the ThuisApp has become a staple in the daily lives of many senior housing communities.
An app
with impact
What makes the app truly special is its combination of simplicity and impact. The app offers more than functionality—it brings residents closer together. People organize coffee mornings through the app or share tips about local events. It’s heartwarming to see how technology helps foster connection.
Additionally, the app has eased the workload for Woonzorg staff. Data entry errors have been drastically reduced, and time spent on administrative tasks has significantly decreased. This allows the team to focus more on their mission: creating a pleasant living experience for seniors.
The Woonzorg ThuisApp is a powerful example of how digitalization doesn’t have to come at the expense of humanity. On the contrary, it enhances the sense of community. At OrangeMelons, we are proud to have contributed to this success.
With a strong foundation, smart integrations, and a heart for its users, the app demonstrates how technology can make a difference. Bold digital transformation? Woonzorg Nederland proves it’s possible!
