North Yorkshire care home set to open after £15m investment
A luxury 87-bedroom care home in the Duchy area of Harrogate is set to open next month following a £15m investment.
Located on Cornwall Road, The Manor House Harrogate offers five star accommodation combined with specialist residential, dementia and respite care for elderly people.
The new development, which has created 110 full and part-time jobs, is located on the site of an original late-Victorian building known as Waldernheath.
Family-run company Hadrian Healthcare owns and operates the new care home. With this site in Harrogate, the firm now operates seven properties providing elderly care across Yorkshire and the North East, including The Manor House Knaresborough, Oulton Manor in Leeds, and Wetherby Manor.
As well as a lifestyle co-ordinator, chauffeur and concierge service, facilities at The Manor House Harrogate include a beauty salon, bowling green and wellness lodge with hydrotherapy pool.
Meals are also provided by an in-house executive chef, with a waiter service in the dining area.
Ian Watson, Hadrian Healthcare’s chairman, said: “We know there is a buoyant market for high-end elderly care accommodation, and it’s an area in which we’ve invested heavily since 2016 and continue to see strong growth.
“The Manor House Harrogate is the perfect addition to our luxury portfolio, located in a prime part of a town known for its charm, elegance and refinement. We’re delighted to bring a derelict site back to life and create a high-end addition to the district’s care accommodation.”
Work on the development has been carried out by contractors based in Yorkshire and the North East, including construction company Walter Thompson of Northallerton, interior design practice Bernard Interiors in Newcastle, and Gateshead architecture firm ARP Design.
