The Society operates a residential home for elderly blind people, located in the Crosspool area of Sheffield.
The home currently accommodates 29 residents and in addition has 1 room which is reserved for respite care.
The home is managed by Kevin McGrath, with support from 3 Assistant Managers, providing management cover 7 days per week. All the staff undergo visual awareness training and provide a very high level of care, creating a homely atmosphere. The home is fitted out to a very high standard and we are proud of the inspection reports from the Care Quality Commission. These reports are available for reading at Cairn Home or the Care Quality Commission website. Anyone wishing to look around Cairn Home is welcome to call in at any time but it is advisable to telephone in advance to ensure that a member of staff will be available to give a tour of the facilities.

Friends of Cairn Home is a totally independant support group dedicated to supporting the residents of the home. They consist mainly of the relatives of residents or former residents and raise funds with a variety of events throughout the year.
The funds raised are used to provide a variety of services for the residents of the home such as entertainers, keep fit classes, Christmas lunch, Christmas gifts and outings/holidays, all of which are appreciated by the residents and help to keep both their minds and their bodies active.
SRSB are very supportive of the work undertaken by the "Friends" and are very grateful for all their hard work.
