Do they provide transport for residents?
Yes. Transport is available on request, including a six-seater vehicle for visits and social activities.
How much does Bunyan Lodge cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Bunyan Lodge for its weekly fee. As a guide, Bedford council paid on average £1,906 a week for a residential care place for adults aged 18 to 64 in 2024-2025, against £1,883 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
