Neighbourhood services

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.

Who’s it for?

The service provides community nursing and therapy services for patients aged 16 and over whose health needs are best met by community based nursing and therapy services.
