Icare Verpleging & Verzorging is a health care provider delivering daily nursing and care to tens of thousands of people, from young to old, at home and in residential care facilities. Through a full range of nursing and caregiving services, it supports clients to live independently at home or to function as independently as possible in housing settings, helping them stay connected to their communities. The organization operates across Drenthe, Flevoland, Gelderland, and Overijssel and is based in Meppel, in the Dutch province of Drenthe. Icare employs a Shared Governance model in which nurses and care professionals participate in professional and quality groups and help shape care content, hygiene practices, medication safety, incident reporting, care philosophy, and how care is handed over between teams. This structure emphasizes professional accountability, giving staff visibility and influence over their own actions and work processes. The approach supports professionals in contributing to policy and practice and aligns care delivery with the organization's broader aims for quality and continuity of care.
