With approximately 3,300 employees, Middin offers support and care in South Holland at residential locations, activity centers, at school or at home to about 5,700 clients with intellectual disabilities. Drentheplantsoen in The Hague consists of 25 apartments in five apartment buildings. 41 clients with a (mild) intellectual disability live there.

Queen Máxima spoke to family members and members of the client council about how contact with clients. In a second meeting, a number of residents' supervisors discussed the impact of the corona measures on the residents and employees of this location in more detail.

Finally, the Queen spoke to the Chair of the Board of Directors of Middin and members of the Middin-wide steering committee COVID-19. Together they form the crisis team that took decisions in recent weeks about measures and adjustments to prevent the spread of the coronavirus and to protect residents and escorts as much as possible.
