Yorkshire Care Equipment

Yorkshire Care Equipment, which now trades as Vivid.Care, is a long-established specialist supplier of care and mobility equipment based near Wetherby in Yorkshire. With around 50 years in the sector, it focuses on complex and specialist needs rather than general high-street mobility, supplying the NHS, hospices, care homes and home users across the UK. The Yorkshire Care Equipment name was rebranded to Vivid.Care in 2022.

The product range centres on specialist seating and clinical equipment. It covers care and specialist seating, riser-recliner chairs, electric profiling beds and pressure-care mattresses, electric and manual wheelchairs including tilt-in-space and active-user chairs, patient hoists and falls-recovery equipment, transfer aids and bariatric equipment. Brands include Permobil and the company’s own Lento care chair range, so it can match equipment to people with significant postural and mobility needs.

Assessment and aftercare are central to the offer. The company provides specialist seating assessments, equipment servicing and repairs, chair hire and a showroom by appointment, along with clinical training for healthcare professionals. Because it works closely with the NHS and care sector, it brings genuine clinical knowledge to matching the right chair, bed or wheelchair to a person’s condition.

Yorkshire Care Equipment, as Vivid.Care, serves customers UK-wide from its Yorkshire base. For people with complex needs, their families, or care providers looking for specialist seating, powered wheelchairs and profiling beds rather than a general mobility shop, the company offers a clinical, assessment-led service. The team can advise on the right specialist chair, bed or wheelchair for a person’s needs. Note that it does not sell mobility scooters or stairlifts.
