Part of a wider Interreg VA 2Seas programme known as Community Areas of Sustainable Care and Dementia Excellence in Europe ('CASCADE'), The Harmonia Village offers on-site 24 hours a day, all year round residential nursing care and support for up to i) 30 PLWD who require long-term placements across six houses, and ii) six hotel style booked 'guest rooms' - within the communal building (the 'Hub') - offering short-term placements to PLWD and their visiting carers / family. The Hub is at the heart of The Harmonia Village, offering residents, their guests and visitors, other organisations and the public, access to a café and multi-purpose rooms, where daily activities, events and services can provide stimulating and creative activities to PLWD to boost their health and well-being. Further information about the Harmonia Village is available from [harmoniavillage.org.uk](http://www.harmoniavillage.org.uk) The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the Trust's ability to deliver the services as originally intended, so much so that the Trust is now looking to outsource the operational delivery of the residential nursing home care and support services at the Harmonia Village to a suitably experienced provider who will partner with the Trust, and share in its vision, to deliver a new approach to care of PLWD.
