Jewish Care

The Dennis Centre offers a programme of stimulating activities for people who have memory impairment and/or a diagnosis of a type of dementia.

Staff work in close partnership with volunteers, helping to offer a warm, friendly and Jewish environment for all members to enjoy.

The centre offers a very high level of care for up to 25 people a day and clients can attend as many days as required dependent on their circumstances and places available.

Facilities
The centre is located a short walk from Gants Hill underground station in Redbridge, Essex. It is open Monday - Thursday 9.30am - 3.30pm and on Fridays 9.30am - 1pm.

Services include:

• transport to and from the centre may be arranged dependent on availability and location
• personal care: bathing, hairdressing, limited laundry service, home care
• active enjoyable programme of activities, that may include outings
• first class Kosher meals
• support for carers

Throughout all our work at the Dennis Centre we recognise and celebrate the Jewish way of life, helping maintain tradition and giving a sense of belonging in a culturally sensitive environment.

Care plans are negotiated for each client as part of our referral and assessment process. They are reviewed regularly so we can be certain the service meets the needs of the client and their carers. Additional support may be provided from one of Jewish Care’s other services, such as home care, and we also support carers through our Carers’ Network.

Referrals and admissions
Referrals can be made directly by social workers, care managers, GPs, hospitals and families. This process is straightforward – just contact Jewish Care Direct on 020 8922 2222.
