How do I choose an extra care housing service in Bedford?
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit. Check each one’s latest CQC rating and how old it is, read its latest inspection report, and where you can, visit or meet the team more than once before you decide. Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
Who pays for care in Bedford?
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care. The first step is to ask your local council for a free assessment of care needs: that is the council’s adult social care team. We do not show prices and this is general information, not advice.

Choosing extra care housing
Extra care housing is a flat or bungalow of your own in a scheme with care staff on site, so help is there when you need it. It sits between living at home and moving into a care home.
Things to check
- Ask who owns or rents the home, and what your tenancy rights are.
- Ask what support is included, when staff are on site and what happens at night.
- Ask how you are involved in planning your own support.
- Read the latest CQC report for the care provider.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
