Hammerson House, Wohl Campus has served the Jewish community for over 180 years and is a leading expert in residential, nursing, respite, dementia and palliative care. Our home is set within beautiful woodlands and grounds and has been carefully designed to offer exceptional care so that our Residents are comfortable, happy and safe.
Our individually tailored service offers a ‘home from home’, offering compassionate residential, nursing, dementia, respite and palliative care. We focus on a Relationship-centred Care approach, highlighting the importance of meeting the needs of the Resident but also those of their relatives and care teams. We recognise that quality care only happens when there are strong relationships between everyone involved in a Resident’s care.

Engagement
At the very heart of our ethos is an exceptional programme of inclusive engagement that ensures Residents can enjoy a wide variety of opportunities to keep active and become involved. Residents also come from many walks of life or they require varying levels of care and support. Our engagement programme therefore provides variety and choice, so that everyone can become involved with an activity they enjoy.

Volunteers
In order for us to provide such an array of activities and things to do, we have the support of our wonderful, dedicated volunteers who donate time, expertise and passion for many subjects and activities. Their work really does enhance the quality of our Residents’ lives. Our volunteers, whilst bringing much enjoyment, also bring support to Residents on a practical level, which is particularly helpful for Residents who do not have family.
