The home changed owner in July 2025. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
Run by Care Assist Limited, Bedford House is a residential care home in Bedford with 9 registered beds. It is registered to care for younger adults, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Bedford has 15 beds, so this one is on the small side.
In Bedford, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). Care Assist Limited has run the home since July 2025, when it changed owner. 2 of Care Assist Limited’s 2 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups). Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from November 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. It was also rated Good at the inspection before, in November 2015. CQC hasn't re-rated the home for over 5 years, like 38% of homes in Bedford. Here is how rating age varies by council.
