Agate House

We all know there’s no place like home

That’s why each Leonard Cheshire home is unique, and provides the support that’s right for the people who live there. Personalised support helps to make sure everyone can live as independently as they choose.

Agate House is home for 36 adults with physical disabilities in the Georgian town of Ampthill. With its cafes, pubs and sports facilities, the town has lots to offer and is only a short drive from Bedford and Milton Keynes.

Is this the place for you?

This is a safe and friendly place to live, with high quality care and nursing. The team is dedicated and experienced and will make sure your needs are understood and met – all with the greatest privacy and respect. Physiotherapy is also available, and we have a visiting aromatherapist.

The people you’ll meet, the things you’ll do…

Live here and you’ll be supported to be independent, healthy and active. There’s something for everyone and our great team of staff and volunteers run individual and group activities, including independent living training. So whatever your interests, from keeping fit to being creative, there’s always something to get involved in.

…will take you to where you want to go

Tell us what you want to do, and we’ll help you get there. Whatever you choose to do, we’ll work with you to make sure it helps you to achieve your goals.
