George Beal House

Run by Bedford Borough Council

Off Williamson Road, Kempston, Bedford, MK42 7HL
GoodCQC · May 2025
  • Residential
  • 12 beds

George Beal House is registered as a residential care home without nursing for people with learning disabilities and younger adults. The available local evidence does not establish a detailed service offer beyond that registration, so its clearest role is supported residential accommodation for people who need day-to-day care in a dedicated setting.
