Jewish Care has welcomed the first tenants to its latest retirement living development.
Pears Court is part of the charity’s Sandringham campus on the Stanmore/Hertfordshire borders.
The 48 one- and two-bedroom apartments are organised around a garden courtyard connected to the Ronson Family Community Centre, which has facilities including a synagogue, café and restaurant, shop and wellbeing centre.
Toby Drage, 85, was the first to move in this week. She has strong connections to the charity, having been a weekend receptionist at its former care home on the Sandringham site, the Princess Alexandra, for ten years.
