Building work has begun on the 84-bed home at the corner of Harehills Lane and York Road in Leeds and it is scheduled for completion in spring 2018.

The new home will create 68 jobs and provide residential and dementia care. Facilities will include en-suite bedrooms, a beauty salon and landscaped gardens.
