About The Tager Centre
The Tager Centre is a residential care home in Crowthorne supporting adults with learning disabilities and people with loss of sight or hearing. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is outstanding. We mention it because it reflects the way we have chosen to work rather than anything clever. Staff who stay for years, so that people are supported by faces they know well. Real effort put into communication, so that people make their own decisions rather than have decisions explained to them afterwards. A house that belongs to the people living in it. Where somebody has sensory loss alongside a learning disability, the ordinary assumptions of care stop holding. You cannot announce yourself from a doorway and expect to be heard. So we treat communication as the central task, using signing, touch, objects of reference, symbols, routine and consistency, whatever suits the individual. People arrange their own rooms, take part in the running of the house, and are supported to get out and to see family. Short respite stays are available. An outstanding rating is a standard to keep rather than a trophy.
