Jewish Care has been accused by a grieving daughter of failing to provide adequate help for her dying mother.

Helene Parnes, 88, from Harrow, Middlesex, moved into the organisation’s Leo Baeck House in Hampstead, North-West London, in March this year.

Three days later she was taken to hospital with a chest infection, and diagnosed with a tumour, but told that she could be discharged.

Her daughter, Veronica Lansman, 63, said that following the diagnosis, Jewish Care became unhelpful and did not want to have her mother back.
