Jewish Care

Jewish Care is the largest health and social care organisation serving the Jewish community in London and the south east of England.

We believe Jewish people should have access to specialist services that are designed to meet their needs. This is reflected in the care we provide which recognises traditions, beliefs and cultures, which are frequently shared by Jewish people.

Our clients' emotional needs are just as important as their physical requirements and providing for their day to day needs is just the beginning.

We offer care in an environment that recognises and respects our clients’ Jewish identity. We celebrate Jewish festivals and make Shabbat, helping people feel safe and comfortable in a ‘heimische’ atmosphere, at a time when they may feel most vulnerable.

We work right across the community and provide care regardless of the level or nature of an individual’s religious observance. In doing so, our care recognises people’s differences as well as their similarities.

Our 1,100 dedicated staff and 2,500 volunteers mean that we are able to run over 70 centres and specialist services throughout London and the south east, caring for more than 7,000 people every week in the Jewish community. We provide services for:

• Older people 
• People with mental health problems 
• People with a physical or sensory disability, including those who are visually impaired 
• People with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia 
• Holocaust survivors and refugees 
• People caring for others (Carers)
• Younger people 
• A dedicated support and advice line for referrals and service information
