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.

Local homes like Milton Ernest Hall have state-of-the-art facilities, helping them achieve ‘Outstanding’ or ‘Good’ Care Quality Commission (CQC) ratings.
