Jewish Care

Jewish Care's professionally qualified social workers play a crucial role in helping members of our community find solutions to health and social care problems.

We can help younger people in a range of situations. The following list is not exhaustive but will give you an idea of what we can do for you, or for a friend or relative.

We can give:

• general support and advice on health and social care related issues
• dementia care and support
• advice and information about welfare benefits
• advice on sheltered accommodation

If you are concerned about someone in your family or a friend or neighbour, you can ask Jewish Care about getting social work help - but you do have to have permission from the person first.

We can help you or your friend or relative gain access to:

• day centre or community centre services
• residential and nursing care homes for older people
• services for holocaust survivors
• meals on wheels
• services for people with a physical or sensory disability
• support and advice services for carers (including those who care for someone with an addictive disorder, dementia, entering residential care, or with a mental health problem)
• respite care for people with dementia or older people (to give carers a break)
• residential care for younger people (18+) with physical or sensory disabilities
• home care services
• occupational therapy/visual impairment service
• finding volunteers who can offer a befriending service

We can also offer advice on accessing financial assistance and grants. We will direct you to organisations that might be able to help you with funding.
