ExpertCare to Close Four Pediatric Care Villas by March 31

ExpertCare plans child-by-child reassignments with BINKZ before closure.

Overview

  • Locations in Rijswijk, Vleuten, Waalre and Wezep will wind down services, with villas staying open longer if needed to complete transfers.
  • Roughly 80 children receiving 24-hour, highly complex care will need new placements or expanded support at home.
  • The provider cites insufficient insurer reimbursement, persistent staffing shortages and a policy shift toward care at home as the reasons.
  • Parents describe the decision as dramatic and fear losing trusted, local options for intensive pediatric nursing.
  • ExpertCare will continue pediatric home care, redeploy some nurses to its neighborhood teams and expects many employees to seek new jobs elsewhere.
