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 Dr Lata Bhatt and Tushar Bhatt, Salvete Care Home is a residential care home in Bedford with 35 registered beds. CQC registers it to look after older people, people with dementia, younger adults and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Bedford, where the typical home has 15 beds.
Its CQC rating, from December 2018, is Good across the board: overall and for every key question. Its rating before that, in March 2016, was the same. At over 5 years old, this rating is older than most. 38% of ratings in Bedford are as old (how rating age varies by council).
Its kitchen was rated 5 for food hygiene in October 2025. That is true of 92% of homes in Bedford. 37 other homes in Bedford share its tier, “Good”. None of the 6 nearest rated homes has a higher rating.
