Acquisition of Schutse Zorg location

The various locations on Tholen provide a home for residents in a familiar environment and close to their families. This gives dementia patients in particular a sense of calm; they can still find their way around easily here. This familiarity can slow down the progression of dementia. BNG financed the €7.8 million acquisition of the nursing home. 

Strong community involvement 

The main location is De Schutse care centre in Sint Annaland. Next to it is the Vroonhof sheltered housing complex. Here, residents have care “around the corner” and live independently. A little further on, on the harbour square, is the Annahof apartment complex. Residents consider it a wonderful place to live.  

Residents of the apartments on Elenahof in Stavenisse also live independently with the option of additional care or domestic help if needed. The Scheldeoord care centre is also located here. Vestehof is located in Tholen itself. At the An de Diek care farm (on the dike) in Sint-Maartensdijk, residents can cuddle with animals, embroider or play shuffleboard to their heart's content. There is something to do every day. 

Driven by social impact 

BNG is owned by and serves the public sector. Everything we do is focused on making a social impact. BNG Bank financed Schutse Zorg's acquisition of the Habion Foundation nursing home. This enables Schutse Zorg to consolidate its operations throughout Tholen. It also strengthens the social network of elderly people in Tholen, who can now receive care close to home and do not have to move to a care centre far away from their village. We discuss these kinds of choices with our customers. For us, it's not about profit, but about social impact. That is what drives us.
