Welcome to Bunyan Lodge - Where Your Loved One's Independence Meets Our Compassionate Care
We understand that finding the right residential care for your family member with mental health needs is one of the most important decisions you'll ever make.
As a family-run care home in the heart of Bedford, we provide specialised mental health needs care for adults over 18 in a warm, homely environment that feels nothing like an institution.

Why Bunyan Lodge May Be the Best Choice for Your Loved One
Family-Run with Heart
We're not a corporate chain. We're a family business, and we treat every resident like they're part of our own family, ensuring your loved one receives personal attention and genuine care.
Mental Health Needs Specialists
Unlike general care homes, we specialise exclusively in mental health needs care. Our staff are trained specifically in supporting adults with mental health conditions - because your family member deserves experts who truly understand.
Perfect Bedford Location
We're just a 10-minute walk from Bedford town centre, train station, and bus station - keeping your loved one connected to community life while making it easy for you to visit whenever you want.
Outstanding Quality
Our CQC ratings and Bedford Borough PAMMS assessments consistently demonstrate our commitment to the exceptional care standards your family deserves.
What We Promise Your Family
At Bunyan Lodge, we believe that having mental health needs doesn't mean your loved one should give up independence or dignity. Our person-centred approach means:
- Individual care plans that we tailor to your family member's unique needs and aspirations
- 24/7 support that promotes their independence rather than creating dependence
- Community integration with regular outings, activities, and local engagement
- Your involvement in care planning and ongoing support - because you know your loved one best
"We don't just provide care - we provide a pathway to the best possible quality of life for your family member."
