Priory Group's Atkinson Court care home in Leeds

The Priory Group, the UK's leading independent provider of mental healthcare, has opened the doors to its first care home for older people in Leeds.

Atkinson Court in Leeds was officially opened by Sharon Butler, managing director, Priory Care Homes alongside former Leeds United and Scotland star Peter Lorimer.

Residents, staff and local dignitaries gathered to celebrate the event at a special luncheon held at the home on Ings Road.

The opening of the purpose built Atkinson Court, which has beds for 75 residents needing nursing or dementia nursing care, has created many jobs for the local area and is part of the first phase of the company's plans for rapid expansion within the older people care sector.

The home provides nursing and dementia services in single, en-suite accommodation finished to the highest standard. There is also a choice of lounges and dining areas and an enclosed landscaped garden.
