“The Tides is a care home that provides accommodation care and support for up to eight people with learning or physical disabilities. At the time of the inspection 8 people were living at the service. During the inspection we assessed all the quality statements under the key questions of safe, effective, caring, responsive and well led. The inspection took place between 11 June and 12 June 2026. We assessed the service against ‘Right support, right care, right culture’ guidance to make judgements about whether the provider guaranteed people with a learning disability and autistic people respect, equality, dignity, choices, independence and good access to local communities that most people take for granted.”

“Staff demonstrated a clear understanding of the safeguarding procedures in place and expressed confidence that any concerns would be appropriately addressed by the management team. Staff told us they felt people using the service were safe and well supported. Staff had the appropriate training, skills and experience to provide safe and effective care, and the required recruitment checks had been completed. Risks to people were identified, assessed and managed effectively, with sufficient staff available to meet people’s needs safely. Staff showed a good understanding of the people they supported and consistently promoted their dignity and respect, taking account of their personal needs, preferences and choices.”

“A staff member told us, “We are like a family at The Tides and we genuinely care about the people we support. We always make sure to meet all their needs and to ensure a happy and safe environment.’’ This reflected the caring and person-centred approach demonstrated by staff throughout the service.”
