About Cinnamon Lodge

Cinnamon Lodge is a residential care home in Bedford supporting younger adults, including people who have a learning disability and people who are autistic. It is somebody's home first and a care setting second, and we try to keep that order of priority clear in everything we do. Support here is planned with the person, not handed to them. Some of the people who live at Cinnamon Lodge need help with personal care and daily tasks, some want support to cook, budget and manage a household, and some are mainly after a steady base from which to get on with college, work or volunteering. We help where help is wanted and step back where it is not. For autistic people, predictability matters enormously. We give advance notice of anything that is changing, we keep shared areas manageable in terms of noise and busyness, and we take time to learn how each person likes to receive information and to be approached. When someone is distressed we treat it as a signal to understand rather than a problem to suppress. Respite stays are available, which can give families a planned break and let somebody try the house before any longer arrangement. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please contact us if you would like to visit.
