Based in Redbridge, The Dennis Centre is for people who are living with a mild to moderate memory impairment, or who have been diagnosed with a mild to moderate form of dementia. 

Open now

Opening hours

Tuesdays 9.30am-3pm

Our experienced and professional staff work in close partnership with incredibly dedicated volunteers to offer a warm, friendly, family atmosphere. Members get to connect with others, combatting loneliness, celebrating their Jewishness and expressing themselves and their culture whilst being cared for.

We deliver dementia-friendly activities, adapted so everyone can participate. This makes the timetable varied and interesting, including opportunities to be creative, exercise (such as table tennis and dance), and music.

We offer a very high level of care for up to 16 people each session. Everyone has their own individual care plan which we develop with them during the referral and assessment process. We support people with all aspects of their care plan including personal care and regularly update them to make sure they stay relevant. Additional support is also available from many of Jewish Care’s other services, such as meal on wheels, befriending, virtual groups, social work, and carers support.

There is a real family atmosphere that we are so proud of and we invite you all to be a part of.
