About Tigh Coilean

Tigh Coilean is a residential care home in Lincoln supporting adults living with learning disabilities and autism, including younger adults. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is requires improvement. We think it is better to say that plainly at the start than to let it surface later. It is not the judgement we wanted. There is an improvement plan, we are working through it with the people who live here, their families and the professionals involved, and anybody considering a place is entitled to ask precisely what is changing, who is accountable for it and what evidence there is that it is working. The life of the house carries on meanwhile and it belongs to the people in it. They have a say in how the place runs, what is cooked and what the week contains. We support people to do as much for themselves as they want to and can, and communication is planned around each individual, because being properly understood is the foundation everything else rests on. Respite stays are available. We would encourage families and professionals to visit and see how we are getting on.
