Brighton care home, Sussex Tikvah has merged with Norwood, after an Extraordinary General Meeting held on Sunday 22 March. Norwood is the UK’s leading Jewish charity supporting children, families and adults, coping with learning disabilities and social disadvantage. Every year we provide thousands of people with vital, specialised support to meet their individual needs.
Sussex Tikvah operates a single registered care home, the Rachel Mazzier House, which is home to six adults with moderate learning disabilities. The organisation shares similar values to Norwood, and provides a happy, secure home with a Jewish atmosphere and a kosher kitchen and provides care and support to enable residents to achieve their full potential.
“We are pleased to expand our services into the South-East and welcome Sussex Tikvah to join Norwood’s high-quality residential services for adults with learning disabilities.” said Norma Brier, chief executive of Norwood. ”We will continue to develop person-centred plans with the residents to ensure that they receive the services they need, and to help them achieve their full potential in life.”
The Trustees of Sussex Tikvah have pledged their support to Norwood.
“As a leading Jewish charity specialised in supporting adults with learning disabilities, Norwood is well-placed to meet the individual needs of the residents of Sussex Tikvah, who will benefit from the highly-professional infrastructure and services that Norwood provides.” said Arthur Oppenheimer, chairman of Sussex Tikvah.
“We’d like to thank our dedicated staff, parents, supporters and the local Brighton & Hove Jewish Community for their continued support of this service.”
