The VIVALDI team recently had the privilege of visiting Nightingale House, one of the UK’s most long-standing and respected providers of exceptional care for older Jewish people.
We were warmly welcomed by residents and staff, and the visit offered a powerful insight into how research, community, and compassionate care come together in practice.
Nightingale Hammerson has been serving its community for more than 185 years, offering holistic, person-centred care for people with a wide range of needs, including those with complex conditions.
What sets Nightingale House apart is its commitment to creating a warm, connected community that feels like family. During our visit, it was wonderful to have residents, volunteers and members of every team join the presentation, reflecting the strong sense of involvement and togetherness that defines the organisation.
We were also joined by Chris Day, Director of Engagement at the Care Quality Commission, who spoke about the importance of collaborative working between the CQC and VIVALDI Social Care. His reflections highlighted a shared ambition: improving research, insight, and outcomes across adult social care.
Nightingale Hammerson’s history is deeply rooted in community vision and a long-standing commitment to exceptional care. Nightingale House has grown and evolved over many decades to meet the needs of its residents while staying true to its founding values of dignity, compassion, and connection.
Today, Nightingale House stands as a vibrant, modern home that reflects this enduring dedication to creating a warm and life-enhancing environment for older people.
Our team left feeling inspired by the organisation’s leadership in research and by the dedication of everyone we met. We look forward to returning and continuing to build on this important collaboration.
Delivering outstanding care requires that we continually challenge ourselves with the latest evidence. Studies like VIVALDI play a vital role in providing the insights we need to make informed decisions and ensure the highest quality of care for our residents.
