Jewish Care is a well-established organisation with more than a thousand staff and 2,500 volunteers, providing help to people with a variety of social care needs, including the elderly and those with mental health problems. In line with the general move towards community-based provision, it has closed its three day centres, six group homes and two residential homes, replacing them with a newly-opened wellbeing centre in Edgware. The wellbeing centre aims to provide an atmosphere of sanctuary and privacy, away from the more traditional perceptions of a mental health establishment, and provides services to all those who identify as being Jewish. The Jewish community has specific mental health issues that make this culturally-sensitive service worthwhile. However, there are ongoing issues around funding for the service, including uncertainties about the impact of direct payments.
