Bedford Specialty Care

Bedford Specialty Care sits on Pearl Street in Bedford, Iowa, where it has a warm, home-like setting for up to 39 residents, and it's a part of Care Initiatives, which is the largest nonprofit provider of senior care in the state, so people who need skilled nursing, memory care, rehabilitation, or hospice care, as well as help with daily activities, can find the support they need here. The team has more than 50 staff members who focus on personalized, compassionate care for each resident, supporting their physical health and mental well-being with daily programming, social activities, and therapy programs that help folks recover and stay engaged with life. The facility has spacious outdoor areas and landscaped grounds where residents can spend time, and it offers a range of services for special care needs, including respite care and palliative care, and meal plans for dietary and nutritional support, though there's no telehealth service and caregiving happens in person. The facility is not accredited by any certifying organization, but it has an affiliation with Health Alliance Medical Plans and Trinity Health Plan, and it is licensed as a Skilled Nursing Facility, with office hours on weekdays from 8 am to 5 pm. Staff provide all care in English, and they do their best to help residents manage care, feel comfortable, and maintain a sense of routine. The philosophy at Bedford Specialty Care emphasizes an active, quality life for seniors, helping them engage in meaningful activities and find support no matter where they are in their health journey, though right now the facility is not accepting new patients.
