Armley community consulted on plans for modern mental health facility
Local people have the opportunity to share feedback on plans for a modern and fit-for-purpose mental health facility at Parkside Lodge.
Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust is seeking the views of residents, businesses and other local representatives before submitting a planning application to redevelop its Parkside Lodge facility in Armley, Leeds.
The Trust’s Deputy Chief Executive Dawn Hanwell said: “Our vision is to provide high quality rehabilitation services at the facility to improve the mental health, psychological wellbeing, social inclusion and quality of life for people with complex mental health needs.
“Men from the West Yorkshire area with complex psychosis and serious mental illnesses, some of whom are currently receiving care in hospitals far from home, will be supported to live independently again. They will be cared for by our expert and compassionate staff team who will be delivering therapeutic approaches that meet the diverse needs of these people.
“We have worked with Leeds City Council, service users, and a wide range of consultant experts to develop the proposed scheme, using the latest Best Practice for Mental Health inpatient environments. Ahead of submitting our planning application, we are inviting local residents to comment on our plans.”
Parkside Lodge is at 16 Stanningley Road, Armley, Leeds, LS12 2AE, next to Armley Park. See the exact location on Google Maps.
