About Us

Our core philosophy is that every individual is entitled to a life of dignity, independence and choice. Our flats are located within modern, well-maintained custom designed buildings which provide a caring, Jewish environment where people can enjoy our life.

Living independently

We encourage our tenants to lead lives that are as independent as their disabilities permit.

Living with choice

Our tenants are encouraged to live according to their own preferences, enjoying the privacy of their own homes or participating in communal activities as they desire.

Living with dignity

Our tenants are treated with the respect we all deserve. We strive to protect and promote our tenants' dignity and rights.

Living with security

Our resident House Managers are on call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Every flat features CCTV access to the main front door.

Living with your family

Our buildings have two bedroom apartments to meet a family's individual living requirements. We provide guest suites for visitors in every building.
