Harrogate outfit Angela Swift Developments has filed plans with Carlisle City Council to build a 71-bed care home on the site of a former home that closed last year.
The £7m development, located around two miles to the south-west of Carlisle city centre in Morton, would replace the council-run, 44-bed Langrigg House.
Angela Swift proposes to build a three-story care home that incorporates residential and dementia facilities with 23 bedrooms on the ground floor, 30 bedrooms on the first floor and 18 on the second floor.
Communal facilities planned for the development include cinema space, hairdresser, treatment room, library, coffee shop, activity rooms, private dining room and landscaped gardens.
If approved, each wing would feature a large bathroom, designed to feel like a spa while being fully accessible to all guests "to add a sense of luxury to the building", the developer said.
Angela Swift anticipates the development, planned to open in spring 2022, would create up to 70 full-time and part-time jobs.
