Lottie's guide to care in Bedford

  • Overview

Welcome to Bedford

Bedford is a wonderful place for older adults to start their next chapter in life, with various modern care homes in the local area. Each of these creates bespoke care plans for residents that outline specific care needs (such as respectful support with tasks relating to personal hygiene), ensuring you receive tailored, person-centred care.

Local homes like Milton Ernest Hall have state-of-the-art facilities, helping them achieve ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings. When searching for a luxurious home, look for cinema rooms, communal lounges, private dining rooms for special occasions, and tranquil gardens. These gardens often adjoin onto conservatories where residents love relaxing.

Activities are a big part of daily life in these homes. Along with activities in the homes, residents are regularly taken on trips to green spaces like Bedford Park and Priory Country Park in Bedford. With flat and gentle paths, these are perfect for older adults.

Rest assured that you or your loved one will be in safe hands. In addition to the homes listed above, there are healthcare facilities like Bedford Hospital. Located on Kempston Road, this hospital offers several services tailored to older adults, as well as general care and A&E departments.
