We provide care and support which helps people to stay as well as possible for as long as possible in their own homes. We make a big contribution to some of the health priorities for Leeds by reducing:
avoidable emergency admissions to hospitals
the length of time people stay in hospital (bed days)
premature admission to long term care
admission to residential and care homes
And:
supporting patients at the end of life to die in their preferred place of care
improving patient or service user experience
Leeds Community Healthcare staff deliver services in a range of settings, this may be in your home, in a clinic or by telephone or virtual consultation and we will continue to assess the best way in which we deliver your care for your particular needs.
