The rating means that all of Vida’s three specialist care homes have now been awarded an Outstanding rating.
Located in Harrogate, Vida Court offers personal and nursing care for up to 100 people across eight houses, each boasting separate adapted facilities. Multiple initiatives and unique environments are on offer to residents, including a sensory courtyard with herbs and dementia-friendly flowers, and wellbeing activities such as stretching classes that enable staff, residents, and family members to interact.

The CQC referenced innovative care led by the latest research and professional literature and fully embedded throughout the service.
