About The Grove -6
The Grove -6 provides residential support for people with learning disabilities in Bedford, as part of MacIntyre’s wider adult services. The organisation supports adults and younger people with learning disabilities and autism, with a vision of helping people live lives that make sense to them. In Bedfordshire we offer support for children, young people and adults in Bedford, Ampthill, Flitwick and surrounding areas.
MacIntyre’s approach focuses on helping people choose how they live, use their skills and interests, and connect with their local neighbourhood. Support can form part of a wider network of care, learning and community participation rather than being limited to accommodation. The service is relevant to families seeking a supported home linked to an established organisation working across England and Wales.

How much does The Grove -6 cost?
The CQC register does not list fees, so ask The Grove -6 for its weekly fee. As a guide, Central Bedfordshire council paid on average £993 a week for a residential care place for people aged 65 and over in 2024-2025, against £982 across England (GOV.UK adult social care finance report). People who pay for their own care are usually charged more than councils pay.
