My mum is on the Lilford unit and she is taken care of by the wonderful staff on that unit. I can not praise the staff on this unit enough. I certainly wouldn't hesitate if I had another family member needing their services.

My grandmother is on Lilford unit and has been a resident for over a year. My grandmother is looked after really well by all the staff on the unit. They are extremely helpful and always keep us as a family updated, about all her care on the unit. If we have any issues they are always there to answer and help with any issue. All staff on the unit are caring towards all the residents within the unit and are always present and around to help with everyone. Senior staff are always able to give updates on my grandmothers care especially when they are unwell. They also ensure that when anything occurs on the unit then we as a family are always made aware of what is happening. The unit is always clean and tidy. They always ensure that her room is looked after and that my grandmothers belongings are looked after. Fantastic team and unit Lilford Unit.
Thank-you very much for your review and for sharing your grandmother's positive experience at Bedford Care Home. Best wishes.
From doing the initial walk round with a member of staff I knew that Bedford was the home for my parents. All the staff I have come into contact with from cleaners, maintenance, carers and managers of units are wonderful. They know there residents, there triggers and there moods. I am very lucky to...
One member of staff, in particular, is on any concerns that I may have; if my mum is having a bad day. The staff work tirelessley, long shifts which can drain them. But they always greet you with a smile and a kind word. These carers are the best.
Thank-you very much for choosing Bedford Care Home and for putting your trust in us. We are delighted that we have been able to meet your needs and that you are so pleased with the care and service we provide. We will share your kind words with the team. Best wishes
Don't allow your loved ones to stay here, shocking. Very poor. My mother was allowed to fall out of her chair, she broke her femur. This turned out to be a death sentence. She was put on palliative care and passed away 3 weeks later. She was on the mend until the fall.

Thank-you very much for your review and feedback which is vitally important to us as we strive to maintain the very best standards throughout. We extend our continued condolences to you and the family on the loss of your dear mother. We understand that this is a very sad and difficult time but must use our right to respond to your comments and briefly outline the circumstances around your mother's history and health conditions on admission to Bedford Care Home and the reason for her subsequent fall. She was initially admitted to hospital following a collapse at home and was very ill during her hospital stay. A referral was made to the Independent Mental Capacity Advocate due to safeguarding concerns around decisions on her best interests. It was then agreed that she would be discharged to the care home and sadly she had a cardiac arrest which caused her fall and injury. We were so sorry to hear that after a short stay in hospital she passed away. Again we extend our very best wishes.
My Dad had a fall in May of this year and when he was discharged from the hospital he was transferred here to Bedford care home for rehabilitation and reading the reviews I was a bit hesitatant but wow he was in room 7 for nearly two months and the care he received was outstanding from all the...

Appears limited choice for someone on a special diet ie. low fiber due to a stoma. Maybe plain chicken could be offered when chicked is offered in a sauce. Maybe sometimes skinless sausage option. Plain chips when wedges with skins on menu. Potatoe waffles and fish fingers would be nice rather than sauces or spicy food.

Thank you for your feedback. We're delighted to hear that you found our staff friendly and approachable - we'll be sure to share your kind words with the team.We also appreciate your constructive comments regarding the menu, especially in relation to special dietary needs. We understand how important it is for individuals with specific dietary requirements, such as low-fiber diets, to have suitable options available. Your suggestions - including offering plain chicken, skinless sausage, plain chips, potato waffles, and fish fingers - are very helpful and will be taken into consideration as we review and improve our menu offerings.Ensuring that our menu accurately reflects what's available is also a priority, and we'll work on making this more consistent moving forward.Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience. We value all feedback as it helps us to improve the care and comfort we provide.
I can't thank the staff enough for the care and support provided to my mum during her D2A stay with them. Very caring attitude and always on hand as needed. Rooms were comfortable. Good variety of food provided.

Food is the biggest issue, my mother is a pescatarian and the sum total of choice seemed to be soup and sandwiches,, limited to choice of cheese or tuna or sausages (usually burnt). My mother is severely underweight and with the limited choice she wasn't encouraged to eat well, even getting brown bread was a chore. In 2025 the amount of vegetarian choice surely goes beyond, cheese, sausages or tuna.

Thank you for your feedback. We're pleased to hear your kind words about our staff - it's always encouraging to know their efforts are appreciated.We're very sorry to learn about your mother's experience with the food options. We completely understand how important proper nutrition and varied dietary choices are, particularly for someone who is underweight. While we strive to cater to all dietary needs, it's clear that on this occasion we fell short.Please be assured that your comments have been shared with our kitchen team, and steps are already being taken to expand and improve the vegetarian and pescatarian options available. It's disappointing that this wasn't raised with management during your mother's stay, as we would have done our utmost to address it immediately.If you'd like to discuss this further or would prefer to speak directly with a member of the management team, we would welcome the opportunity-either by phone or in person. Thankyou.

Dad and I had cared for mum for several months at home and hoped to continue doing so but a fall and subsequent hospital stay affected her mobility such that we couldn't safely look after her. When she was discharged from hospital she had a short stay somewhere with the hope that her mobility might improve enough for her to return home. Sadly this wasn't the case and she was transferred to Beech House at Bedford Nursing Home. The care that mum received far exceeded our expectations, every single member of staff that we met, cleaning staff, leadership team, nursing staff, all obviously cared so much for the residents. We visited pretty much daily and without exception a member of staff had briefed us on how mum was that day before we got to her room. We really worried about mum going in to a care home but honestly this place is staffed by angels who treated mum with understanding, compassion and love. The care mum received was excellent. Five stars doesn't seem enough.
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and thoughtful review.We are truly sorry that your mum's health circumstances meant she was no longer able to remain at home, but we are honoured that you entrusted her care to us at Beech House. It means a great deal to hear that the support and compassion...

Your feedback is not only encouraging, but a reminder of why we do what we do.With sincere thanks.
My sister seem to be very happy here. She always smiling and happy. The staff are very good, but do seemed short staffed at time but thats no fault of theirs. They are always happy to help and nothing is too much trouble for any of them.

I asked if there were any other rooms available and was told there wasn't. I asked again for my mum to be transferred to another room, finally she was. I asked how long this room had been available & it had been free for about a week!! Staffing issues need to be resolved, it's not acceptable that people have to live in these conditions.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are very sorry to hear about your experience and your concerns regarding the care your mother received during her stay with us. Please know that we take all feedback seriously, as it helps us to reflect on and improve the quality of our care and services. We are genuinely disappointed to hear about the issues you've described, particularly around dignity, communication, and the availability of support. These are not the standards we aim to uphold, and we are committed to addressing any shortcomings. Unfortunately, these concerns were not brought to the attention of management at the time of admission or during your mother's stay, which meant we were unable to intervene or resolve them in real time. Had we been made aware, we would have acted swiftly to investigate and support both your mother and your family.
