About Highfield
Highfield is a residential care home in Bedford, offering a familiar and homely setting for older people and their families. Bedford itself is a welcoming town with good transport links, making it straightforward for loved ones to visit regularly and stay closely involved in day-to-day life. The team at Highfield understands how important this time of transition can be, and aims to make both residents and their families feel supported every step of the way.
This residential care home accommodates up to 34 people who may be living with physical disabilities or dementia. The two-storey building features personalised bedrooms and shared communal spaces including lounges, bathrooms, dining areas and a garden. At the time of inspection, the service was operating at full capacity with 34 residents.
However, inspectors found that people were not always as safe as they could be. Some identified risks had not been addressed promptly, and records did not clearly show whether people had received support in line with their individual needs. Additionally, staffing levels posed a risk that some residents would not have adequate staff available to support them when required.
