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 Mallards is a 23-bed residential care home in Bedford, run by Lansglade Homes Limited. It is registered to care for older people, people with dementia and people with a physical disability. That is larger than most homes in Bedford, where the typical home has 15 beds.
37 other homes in Bedford share its tier, “Good”. The kitchen has a food hygiene rating of 5 (very good), from October 2026. 92% of homes in Bedford also score 5. Of the 6 closest rated homes, none is rated above it. 5 of Lansglade Homes Limited’s 5 rated homes are Good or Outstanding (compare care home groups).
In September 2023, CQC gave it Good overall, and Good for each of the five key questions too. That is up from Requires improvement in September 2019.
