Nightingale Hammerson

What Nightingale Hammerson does

Nightingale Hammerson is an independent UK charity, founded in 1840, that operates two residential care homes in London — Nightingale House in Clapham (110 residents) and Hammerson House, Wohl Campus in Hampstead (116 residents) — delivering residential, nursing, dementia, respite, rehabilitation, palliative and end-of-life care specifically to older members of the Jewish community. The care model is built around Jewish traditions and values (kosher food, Shabbat services, festival observance, spiritual support) and is augmented by an in-house multi-disciplinary therapy department (physiotherapy, occupational therapy, dietitian, moving and handling advisor) that the organisation describes as one of the largest in a UK care home setting. Quality credentials include a CQC Outstanding rating at Nightingale House, a CQC Good rating at Hammerson House, NaDCAS Two Star Gold Accreditation for dementia care, and Investor in People recognition.

The business model is a hybrid of resident care fees and charitable fundraising. Fees are charged for care services billed monthly (a 2026–27 fee sheet is published), and the organisation states a weekly shortfall of £48,000 to cover full costs of care. The shortfall is funded through donations, Gift Aid declarations, a tiered Patron Programme (from £5,000 upwards), structured legacy gifts (residuary, pecuniary, specific, reversionary), and fundraising events including the London Marathon, Royal Parks Half Marathon, and gala receptions. A separate sub-brand, Reach by Nightingale Hammerson, extends the organisation's expertise into the community through 100+ practical advice videos, webinars, and outreach to family carers and older people living independently. Go-to-market is sales-led via a Resident Services team handling enquiries, tours, and assessments, supplemented by synagogue partnerships across the UK, the annual Care Home Research Forum, and community events.
