An innovative service to support people in local communities with complex needs is opening in East Leeds.
The formal opening ceremony of Wykebeck Valley Complex Needs Centre took place yesterday, 12 December.
The former day centre has been transformed and upgraded to become a complex needs and dementia service, with extra investment in staffing meaning an intensive package of care and support can be provided to the growing numbers of people with dementia who otherwise might need residential or nursing care to be provided.
Wykebeck Valley is the first of a series of Complex Needs Centres run by the council across the city to be delivered, with Calverlands in West Leeds and Laurel Bank in South Leeds due to open in 2018.
