About Tidings

Tidings provides residential care in Minehead for older people and younger adults. We support people living with dementia, adults with learning disabilities and autism, people managing mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people who have sight or hearing loss, and we also support people with eating disorders. Planned respite stays are available. We treat this as a home first and a care setting second. The people living here have their own rooms, their own routines and a genuine say in how the place runs, and our staff fit around them rather than running everybody to one timetable. Support covers personal care, medicines, meals, money and the practical work of a household, and we stand back wherever somebody can manage without us. The detail is where most of the real work lies. How a person communicates, what makes an environment feel manageable, how much warning they need before something changes, and how they want to be helped are all things we learn from the person rather than assume. Where somebody is living with an eating disorder, patience and a calm consistent approach at mealtimes matter more than anything else we could offer. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
