Golders Green care home to merge with Jewish Care
Sunridge Court, a Jewish care home in Golders Green, is set to merge with Jewish Care by the end of the month
A Jewish Golders Green care home will merge with Jewish Care, it has been announced.
Sunridge Court, a home which was established by a group of families from the Liberal and Reform movements, is set to complete the merger later this month.
Bosses at the care home say the merger would see most staff keep their jobs while “retaining its ethos” as a “non-orthodox home from home.”
“By our two organisations joining forces, Sunridge Court will have access to greater resources to provide a higher level and wider spectrum of care now and in the future for the community than we would by remaining separate organisations,” said Linda Stone, chair of Sunridge Court.
Jewish Care is the community’s largest care provider, with nine care homes and two retirement living sites, with a third set to open this month.
Its chairman, Jonathan Zenios, said: “As the community knows well, Jewish Care itself is an amalgamation of many welfare organisations that have come together over the last 30 years.
We’re delighted to welcome Sunridge Court as the newest member of the Jewish Care family which we hope will increase the breadth of the community we can serve and allow us to achieve more together in the future.”

Engaging
Being a community platform means so much more than producing a newspaper and website. One of our proudest roles is media partnering with our invaluable charities to amplify the outstanding work they do to help us all.
Celebrating
There’s no shortage of oys in the world but Jewish News takes every opportunity to celebrate the joys too, through projects like Night of Heroes, 40 Under 40 and other compelling countdowns that make the community kvell with pride.
Pioneering
In the first collaboration between media outlets from different faiths, Jewish News worked with British Muslim TV and Church Times to produce a list of young activists leading the way on interfaith understanding.
Campaigning
Royal Mail issued a stamp honouring Holocaust hero Sir Nicholas Winton after a Jewish News campaign attracted more than 100,000 backers. Jewish Newsalso produces special editions of the paper highlighting pressing issues including mental health and Holocaust remembrance.
Easy access
In an age when news is readily accessible, Jewish News provides high-quality content free online and offline, removing any financial barriers to connecting people.
Voice of our community to wider society
The Jewish News team regularly appears on TV, radio and on the pages of the national press to comment on stories about the Jewish community. Easy access to the paper on the streets of London also means Jewish News provides an invaluable window into the community for the country at large.
We hope you agree all this is worth preserving.
