Jewish Care opens new residential home at Sandringham
Anita Dorfman House's first residents are expected to move in next month.
Jewish Care has unveiled their new 64-bed care home Anita Dorfman House, which has just opened at Sandringham in Stanmore.
The carehome’s first residents, who are currently staying at Princess Alexandra House on the 16 acre site, are expected to move in next month.
The redevelopment was built with support from the Dorfman Foundation and named after Sir Lloyd Dorfman CBE’s 91-year-old mother Anita.
Sir Lloyd Dorfman CBE said: “We are thrilled to be associated with Jewish Care’s new visionary Sandringham campus and to have supported the new care home.
“We wanted to honour my mother, and are delighted that so many people will be looked after in this home bearing her name.”
Jewish Care president Lord Levy said: “Today is an exciting milestone for our hugely ambitious Sandringham development project.
“We are extremely grateful to Sir Lloyd Dorfman and his family for their generous support which has enabled us honour Anita Dorfman by naming the new home Anita Dorfman House – a new home for current residents at Princess Alexandra House and members of the wider local community.”
Anita Dorfman said: “I am thrilled to lend my name to Jewish Care’s new home.
“Having recently celebrated my 91st birthday, this is a lovely additional belated birthday present.
“It is a fantastic charity and I am proud that the family foundation has a long association with it, and has supported this project.”

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.
