Questions families ask
Who does Lotus House provide care for?
It provides residential care for adults with learning difficulties, autism spectrum disorder, epilepsy and mental health needs.
Does Mentaur offer day care as well as residential care?
Yes. Mentaur provides day care resources for people living in its homes and for people in the wider community.
How much does Lotus House cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask Lotus House 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.
