Vida Healthcare is preparing to open its third care home in Harrogate this autumn after construction delays partly caused by coronavirus.

The company has described Vida Court, which will cater for 100 residents living with dementia and employ 200 staff, as 'the care home of the future'.

The home, near RHS Harlow Carr, will include a cinema, convenience store, hair salon, florist and coffee shop to provide residents with a little normality.

It was originally due to be completed in spring but the date has been pushed back to November 1.

Interior design company Nanu Soda was hired to design the building, which includes sensory TV windows, walls and artwork that provide residents with opportunities to interact with different environments.



Learning from coronavirus, Vida has designed each bedroom with a large glass window.

Each bedroom has a large glass window and every house within the home has a garden room to help ventilation

James Rycroft, managing director at Vida Healthcare, said:

"We hope that Vida Court, which integrates the most cutting edge facilities and technology, will end the perception of care homes as a last resort."
