courtyard on the upper ground floor giving a safe environment to maintain
independence. With 24 hour on-site care and support and a state-of -the-art
call care system it is aimed at residents 65 and over.
Huw Irranca Davies AM, Welsh Government Minister for Children, Older People and

which is part of continuing investment from Flintshire County Council, Welsh
Government and partners in supported and independent living for older people.”

and they are making a real difference to people’s lives, improving care
provision for older people in the County.
Councillor Christine Jones, Cabinet Member for Social Services said:

with dementia continues to build on the success of extra care schemes such as

“Llys Jasmine has been open for nearly five years and is an excellent example
of how partnership working can make a huge difference to people’s lives.

quality, purpose built accommodation which allows them to retain their
independence. It is a real success story for Flintshire, making an impact not
just on residents but on the whole community in Mold.”
