Last week more than 40 members of our community came together at Nightingale House in Clapham for a wonderful Sukkot lunch.

Over a delicious seabass lunch, we enjoyed beautiful violin music from Ciara, after gathering for a drink and spending time together in our Succah.

It was a fantastic opportunity to bring members from across South London and beyond together, with representatives from Sutton, Bromley, Catford & Bromley, Croydon, South London Liberal, West London, Richmond, Wimbledon, Spanish & Portuguese, Ealing and Western Marble Arch synagogues.

A wonderful celebration of Sukkot, community and togetherness.

A new chapter is beginning at Nightingale House!

This week, 13 Residents from W**e Household, alongside friends, relatives and team members, had their first look at their newly refurbished Wolfson Household.

Designed around the people who will live there, Wolfson Household combines high-quality personal accommodation with welcoming shared spaces, including lounges, dining areas, an art studio and media room.

It’s about more than new facilities, it’s about choice, independence, privacy and community, while keeping the relationships and routines that matter most to our Residents at the heart of the move.

We so looking forward to our Residents move at the end of this month!

A mother and daughter, together at Hammerson House. For Sylvia, moving to Hammerson House marked the beginning of a new chapter. After 70 years of marriage, losing her beloved husband Harold meant that living alone was becoming increasingly difficult.

Today, Sylvia feels safe, cared for and connected and there’s an extra special reason Hammerson House feels like home: her daughter, Wendy, works here.
Wendy first volunteered in Residents’ Services before becoming Administrator at Hammerson House. Being surrounded by older people has given her a deeper understanding of ageing and, unexpectedly, helped her become more patient and understanding with her own mum.

“Working here has really helped me to understand what it is like to grow old.”
For Wendy, being both a team member and a daughter means navigating two different roles, with care, respect and confidentiality at the heart of both. For Sylvia, it means having the reassurance of knowing her daughter is close by.

Their story is one of family, resilience and the special connections that make a community feel like home.
