MEET THE MANAGER

Jewish Care would not be able to do its vital work without the dedication of its staff and lay leaders.

“A move into a care home, for many, is a family affair and we welcome not just the resident, but the whole family into our community.”

Registered Manager: Elizabeth Mandeya

Wolfson Assisted Living is more than a home. It's a special community alongside Anita Dorfman House, run by dedicated staff and volunteers who work hard to deliver quality care and support, and develop lasting friendships with our residents. Our staff and volunteers help residents to preserve their Jewish way of life and we celebrate Shabbat and the festivals together.

We invite the local community in to celebrate too, with visits from local Rabbis, school children and volunteers. All this makes the care home a truly special place to live.

Our ability to provide a quality service is defined by the positive and trusting relationship we have with our residents and their families. It is essential that we involve family members and where possible, provide advice and support to everyone involved.

Our care is underpinned by the philosophy that residents should lead meaningful lives, with the opportunity to be active and independent despite any physical, sensory or cognitive impairment. This helps us to consistently achieve a “Good” rating from the Care Quality Commission, contributing to our fantastic reputation.

Food

A tasty, nutritious and Kosher meal for every breakfast, lunch and supper.

The food at Wolfson Assisted Living is supervised by the Kosher London Beth Din (KLBD), using fully kosher certified food products and suppliers. 

We place traditional Jewish values at the heart of all we do at Jewish Care and that’s why we ensure that every breakfast, lunch and supper served in our care homes is tasty, nutritional and Kosher.

Our team of skilled chefs plan and prepare a varied menu each week and meet regularly with residents and their relatives to ensure that every palette is catered for.

Mealtimes are social times in our care homes, and we are committed to ensuring that each resident is able to enjoy a tasty Kosher meal. We understand that some residents may face difficulty swallowing their food (dysphagia), which is why we work in partnership with Hospital Kosher Meals Service (HKMS) to provide a wide variety of enjoyable and nutritional pureed Kosher meals.

Our residents are encouraged to live life to the full through a varied programme of wellbeing and lifestyle activities to enjoy with the residents of Anita Dorfman House.

Our team of Activity Co-ordinators meet regularly with residents and relatives to ensure that everyone has a say in the types of activities they would like to do.

PAYING FOR CARE

The process of paying for care can be confusing and difficult to understand. Jewish Care are here to provide assistance and advice to help.

Paying for residential care can be complicated, with various options available depending on your financial situation and care needs. We have created an information booklet, explaining the different payment methods, services included within our fees, our weekly rates and information relating to family contributions, where appropriate. We are available to offer support or answer any questions you may have about how your care can be funded.

Please note that Jewish Care is unable to provide financial advice.
