THE END is in sight for work on a new dementia day care facility at Knowl Park House in Mirfield.
The centre, opening in Autumn, is designed to give users “maximum flexibility” and be “fully inclusive”.
It will cater for up to 30 people each day from Monday to Friday, incorporating the latest assistive technology.
Different zones will be created, with an ‘activity zone’ featuring a large arts and crafts room and a ‘wellbeing zone’ including a cinema and spa.
The ‘home therapy zone’ will include a “homely” open plan lounge, dining and kitchen area.
Each of these areas will lead to outdoor spaces – some with a greenhouse, potting shed and raised beds, and another, with an exercise area and water feature.
Kirklees Council says that all doors have been fitted and external lighting installed. Now, new furniture is being brought into the centre and indoor lights put in, including specialist lighting in the cinema room.
