About Embracing Independent Lifestyles
Embracing Independent Lifestyles provides nursing care in Leeds for older people and younger adults. We support people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autism, people managing mental health conditions and people with physical disabilities, and we also work with people who have eating disorders and people whose lives have been affected by alcohol or drug misuse. We take planned respite stays as well as longer term places. Having qualified nurses on site at all hours means health needs can be watched and managed as they change rather than dealt with as crises, and it means we can support people whose needs are complex enough that many settings would turn them away. Clinical care is only part of what we do. The people here are adults with preferences, friendships and plans, and a care setting should not flatten any of that. We support people to decide how their own day goes, to keep in touch with the people who matter to them, and to take part in things beyond these walls. Where somebody communicates in their own way, we learn it. Where somebody finds change difficult, we work at their pace and explain what is coming. Where somebody has been let down before, we accept that trust takes a while. Respite stays give family carers a genuine break and support people who need nursing care for a period before going home.
