Established to foster links with the multicultural society around it, Assisi Place is named after the Italian town that has hosted two major interfaith gatherings – one on ecology in 1986, and another on world peace in 2002.
Set across three storeys, the 45 apartments offer bright, airy and spacious living places specially designed for the needs of older people, with a range of colour schemes and assistive technology. Although living independently in their own apartments, residents have the reassurance of 24-hour care on site and care packages to suit their individual needs.
The Manager for Assisi Place enthused, “Assisi Place is a great asset to the community and those who live here. It is a beautiful new building and a place where community members come for lunches or coffee and bring harmony, helping residents to reintegrate with their peers in the area.”
The development originated through a partnership with Leeds City Council and the vision of Sister Agatha Leach CJ (Congregation of Jesus), of the Bar Convent in York, who said: “What a wonderful vision if it can bring true peace and friendship at the grassroots of at least one place in our world and why not in this very city in the heart of Leeds.”
