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. ?
Kimbolton Lodge is a 37-bed nursing home in Bedford. The home is its own registered provider. Its CQC registration covers older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability and people with a sensory impairment. The typical home in Bedford has 15 beds, so this one is bigger than average.
In Bedford, 78% of rated care homes are Good or Outstanding (England 82%). About 0.5 km away, Elcombe House is rated Outstanding.
Its CQC rating, from November 2019, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in May 2017, 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.
