About Creative Support - The Glade
The Glade is a care home in Bedford, run by Creative Support. We provide residential care for adults with a range of needs, including older people, younger adults, people living with dementia, adults with a learning disability and autistic adults, people with a physical disability and people with a visual or hearing impairment. We also offer respite stays. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We are not going to talk around that. An inspection that finds shortfalls is telling us something we needed to hear, and the honest position is that parts of what we do have not been good enough. We have taken the findings seriously, we are working through them, and we would rather a family asked us directly about the report than discovered it afterwards. What we can say about the home itself is that the people living here have very different needs and the support is built around each of them individually. Staff learn how a person communicates, what their day should look like and what matters to them, and that is written into a plan which is reviewed as things change. Families are welcome to visit, to ask hard questions and to hold us to what we say. If you are considering The Glade for a relative, come and see the place, speak to people living here and make your own judgement.
