Respite Care



Why choose respite care (short term breaks)?

Whether you are caring for a loved one or a friend or being cared for, from time to time it may be necessary or desirable for you to take a break and that’s just where Jewish Care’s respite care breaks can help.

Who is it for?
Typically lasting 1-3 weeks, respite care breaks are suitable for anyone whose care needs (personal, nursing or dementia care) can be met within the care home and who can adjust to and benefit from a change of environment. Jewish Care’s person centred approach means that you can rest assured that they will get the highest standard of personalised care. Respite care is offered in all our care homes.

**New Respite care facility at Otto Schiff care home, Golders Green**
Located on our new Maurice and Vivienne Wohl campus in Golders Green, Otto Schiff is a spacious and bright home offering 1 week to 3 week respite stays.  Each bedroom has an en suite bathroom and is equipped with assistive technology.

Otto Schiff benefits from proximity to the Michael Sobell Community Centre, where a broad range of activities are offered. Home-cooked food is prepared on-site (under Beth Din supervision).
