Key Review Excerpts
“My mom got what she needed and was discharged in much better shape than when she went in. Every time I visited, I saw friendly people, both staff and residents. The floors were clean, and the air smelled good.”
“CNA's on day shift are overworked and short-staffed beds go unchanged, patients u bathed and/or left in bed. Trash cans often over flow and my Mother's floor seems perpetually sticky.”
“Provided exceptional care for our Daddy. Our family was actively involved in his plan of care. Thank you to all staff for your time and attention to him.”
Both RN and total nursing hours are below the EveryPlace reference benchmarks. Ask the facility how it staffs each shift for current resident needs.

Bedford Care Center shows a pattern of recurring infection control deficiencies across multiple surveys (2019, 2023, 2024), alongside issues with resident assessment and care planning. The most recent 2024 survey identified several problems including infection prevention, care planning accuracy, resident activities, and medical records management.
