Kitec Supported Living

Kitec Supported Living is a home care agency based in Bedford, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Bedford office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people living with dementia, people with a physical disability, people with a learning disability or autism, people with mental health needs and people with a sensory impairment. It is run by Kitec Healthcare Services. The agency has been registered since July 2023.

Kitec Supported Living has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.
