What is being bought

Published requirement description

Owned, and currently operated, by East Kent Hospitals University NHS Foundation Trust (the 'Trust'), The Harmonia Village in Dover, Kent aims to provide better care and support for people living with dementia ('PLWD'), so that they can live happier and healthier lives.

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, seven days a week residential nursing home 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.
