Finding a care home
Care homes may be privately owned or run by charities or councils. Some will be small care homes based in home-like domestic dwellings, while others will be based in large communal centres.
You can view the homes currently run by Central Bedfordshire Council.
You will find Care Homes listed in the Bedfordshire and Luton Directory (link opens in new window).
