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. ?
Run by Turning Point, Franklin Avenue is a residential care home in Bedford, Central Bedfordshire with 6 registered beds. It is registered to care for older people, people with a learning disability or autism and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Central Bedfordshire has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
