Overview
74 Old Ford End is a purpose built home providing support to six people with learning disabilities, autism, physical disabilities and behaviours that challenge.
Our home benefits from a range of spacious communal areas, allowing the people we support to socialise and accommodating a variety of activities, while also providing quiet spaces. Notable features include an expansive lounge and a fully equipped multi-sensory room. The kitchen has been thoughtfully designed with lower countertops, allowing the people we support to assist in meal preparation. Surrounding the service are beautifully landscaped gardens that are fully accessible to wheelchair users, offering the people we support the chance to partake in outdoor games and activities, or simply to enjoy a moment of relaxation.
The home is located just ten minutes from Bedford town centre, which offers numerous educational and recreational opportunities. Excellent transportation options are available, including a bus stop conveniently situated across the street. Additionally, a park is located only a few minutes away, making it an ideal spot for leisurely walks and summer picnics.
