Tamar House

Tamar House provides accommodation, care and support for up to 13 people who experience learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder. There were 12 people living at Tamar House at the time of the inspection.

The registered manager and staff worked within the principles and values that underpin Registering the Right Support and other best practice guidance. This ensured that people could live as full a life as possible and achieve the best possible outcomes. The principles reflect the need for people with learning disabilities and/or autism to live meaningful lives that include control, choice, and independence.

People's experience of using this service:

People continued to receive a safe service and were protected against abuse, neglect and discrimination. Staff were trained to recognise signs of potential abuse and how to manage and report any situations in which people may be at risk.

There were enough staff with the right skills and knowledge to provide person centred care for people. People were supported with good nutrition and were able to access appropriate healthcare services when they had need.

People were treated with dignity and respect and their privacy was maintained. They were supported to make choices and decisions for themselves and encouraged to express their views and opinions.

The registered provider maintained systems to monitor and continuously improve the quality of services provided for people.
