CQC hasn't inspected this home for more than 5 years. It re-inspects based on risk, so an old rating doesn't count against a home on this site, but it may not reflect the home today. ?
Bushmead Court Residential Home is one of 72 care homes in Bedford: a 27-bed residential care home in Bedford, run by Calsan Limited. Its CQC registration covers older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability. Most homes in Bedford are smaller: the median there is 15 beds.
Across Bedford, 78% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
Its CQC rating, from February 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in December 2015, was the same. 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.
