Leighton Buzzard Day Centre for older people review
Following extensive mapping and engagement and activities with Leighton Buzzard Day Centre service customers, we developed a proposal for a new enhanced day service.
The new model
At its meeting on 11 October 2022, the Council’s Executive approved a proposal to implement a new day centre model as an alternative to Leighton Buzzard Day Centre and subsequently close the current centre to relocate the service to the care home that is being built on the Hockliffe Road site, known as Marigold House.
Having the service move to Marigold House will have many advantages. It will enable the full range of care and support needs, a wide variety of activities and improved changing place toilet (CPT). Marigold House offers a homelier and community-based environment, has a secure and safe access to outside garden space and the provision of meals and snacks will still be available.
