About the service
From the Care Quality Commission's inspection report published 18 November 2023. Quoted under the Open Government Licence.
Tithe Barn is a residential care home providing personal care to up to 13 people. The service provides support to people with learning disabilities or autistic spectrum disorder.
What inspectors found
We expect health and social care providers to guarantee people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices and independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted. 'Right support, right care, right culture' is the guidance CQC follows to make assessments and judgements about services supporting people with a learning disability and autistic people and providers must have regard to it.
Read the rest of CQC's summary
Right Support: Risk management needed improvement. There was improvement needed in the oversight of lessons learnt and the actions taken to reduce the risk to people. People were supported to have maximum choice and control of their lives and staff supported them in the least restrictive way possible and in their best interests; the policies and systems in the service supported this practice. The provider's governance systems were not always effective in identifying the actions needed to reduce the risk to people.
Right Care: Care was person-centred and promoted people's dignity, privacy and human rights. Safeguarding procedures were followed and appropriate action had been taken to protect people from abuse and poor care. Care was delivered in line with standards, guidance and the law.
Right Culture: The ethos, values, attitudes and behaviours of leaders and care staff ensured people using services lead confident, inclusive and empowered lives. The systems for reporting were open and transparent.
