Enter & View - Cairn Care Home
In June 2015, 3 of our Enter & View volunteers visited Cairn Care Home.
Our Enter & View programme involves visiting publicly funded health and social care services in Sheffield to talk to service users, their relatives and carers, as well as staff. Visits are carried out by our Enter & View volunteers.
Enter & View is different to an inspection - we focus on what it is like for people receiving care. Visiting places where people actually receive care is a powerful way for us to hear directly from individuals about their experiences of services.
Key findings:
- The residents and family member spoken to were all complimentary about the quality of the care they received at Cairn Home.
- The building and garden was well maintained and has an airy and welcoming atmosphere.
- The staff appeared well trained and caring. The dignity and privacy of the residents was clearly respected and efforts were made to ensure that residents had choice in their lives.
- The care provided appeared to meet a range of residents needs. The needs and wishes of residents were not only respected but also sought by staff.
- Residents are free to come and go from the home and staff routinely support people on trips to the local pub and shops.
