Yew Tree Court and Rosewood Court within Moor Allerton Care Centre have 70 one and two bedroom apartments providing purpose-built retirement living with care. Of these, 45 are designated for people of varying dependency, 20 specifically for people living with dementia, and a further five flats owned by Leeds CCG for intermediate care. In 2005, MHA opened the Bay Tree Centre, following a special local appeal.
A key donor to the appeal was the Garfield Weston Foundation, which gave half a million pounds towards a facility that offers day care for up to 20 people, in a state-of-the-art building. In addition, the complex houses a café, hair salon, a number of communal lounges, and within Bay Tree there is an aromatherapy room, a large lounge and a bright, airy entrance.
As well as Yew Tree’s main garden, tended predominantly by tenants themselves, Rosewood and Bay Tree also have secure gardens that those with dementia can enjoy in safety. The whole concept, believes one resident, “is ideal.”
“At the moment I am independent and can manage on my own,” says another – but adds: “If ever I need help, I know there will be someone there.” Bay Tree acts as a day centre for older people with dementia, and members are welcome to use the wider facilities in Moor Allerton such as the restaurant and hair salon. At Moor Allerton, we provide 24-hour staffing on site.
