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. ?
The home changed owner in April 2026. Its rating dates from before the change. ?
This rating was carried over from the home's previous registration, usually after a change of owner. ?
The Leys is one of 72 care homes in Bedford: a 9-bed residential care home in Bedford, run by Psycare Limited. CQC registers it to look after older people, younger adults, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. That is smaller than most homes in Bedford, where the typical home has 15 beds.
37 other homes in Bedford share its tier, “Good”. Psycare Limited has run the home since April 2026, when it changed owner. Psycare Limited runs 8 care homes, and all 7 rated are Good or Outstanding. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it.
CQC rated it Good overall and in all five key questions in March 2019. The rating was carried over from a previous registration, which usually happens when a home changes owner. That matches its previous rating, from May 2016. 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.
