About Us

Bedborough House is a residential care home in Radstock, supporting adults with a learning disability or autism, including younger adults. We also offer respite stays.

This is somebody's home before it is anything else, and we try to run it that way. People have their own rooms, their own routines and a real say in how their days go. Support here is about making ordinary things possible rather than doing them for people, and we are careful about that distinction because independence is quietly worn away by help that arrives too quickly. We also take the time needed to understand how each person communicates, which is not always through words.

We should be straightforward with you about where we stand. Our most recent overall judgement from the Care Quality Commission was that we require improvement. We accepted the findings rather than arguing with them, we have a plan of work in place and we are progressing it alongside colleagues in health and the local authority. Families deserve to hear that from us directly rather than discovering it later.

If you are considering Bedborough House for someone in your family, please come and visit. Meet the people who live here, speak to our staff, and ask us exactly what the concerns were and what we have changed since. Those are the right questions to put to any home you look at, and we will answer them plainly rather than steering you towards a brochure.
