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. ?
Saxon Close is one of 64 care homes in Central Bedfordshire: a 6-bed residential care home in Flitwick, run by MacIntyre Care. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. The typical home in Central Bedfordshire has 24 beds, so this one is on the small side.
Across Central Bedfordshire, 72% of rated homes are Good or Outstanding, against 82% for England. It is one of 16 homes run by MacIntyre Care. 15 of those with a rating are Good or Outstanding. Of the 3 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in December 2024. Its rating before that, in August 2018, was the same. That is more recent than most ratings in Central Bedfordshire, where the typical rating is about 4 years old.
