Leeds Community Healthcare NHS Trust was established in 2011. It runs a wide range of services and around Leeds.
It runs the Leeds Eating and Drinking Team which aims to tackle the growing problem of malnutrition.
In April 2015 the trust was criticised by the Care Quality Commission which raised concerns about insufficient staffing levels and a “high reliance” on temporary staff, particularly at the South Leeds Independence Centre.
Wendy Neill, one of the trust's speech and language therapists, set up the Giving Voice choir in 2014. It helps people with conditions like strokes, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s and dementia to socialise and stretch their vocal chords.
It runs the Assisted Living Leeds centre in a partnership with Leeds City Council. This houses the Community Equipment Service, providing equipment for daily living and nursing needs at home, and also the council’s Telecare service, which enables vulnerable residents to stay safe by fitting sensors and alarms around the house.
