Overview
Tight Team
Consistent care
Small Home
More focused
Semi-Rural
Peaceful area
Cairn is a small home on the edge of a village near Colchester. Its quiet setting offers a safe base from which to venture out. Our team is a close-knit unit, and seeing the same faces more regularly allows better relationships with the young people. We use some psychodynamic practices to help our young people understand why they feel the way they do, and our carers focus on attachment to build strong foundations and restore self-belief.

Key Details
comfy home
Plenty of space
Cairn is a comfortable home with plenty of room for each of our 3 residents. Multiple living spaces allow everyone to do their own thing and to feel at home.
girls only
Single-Sex Home
While we would like the home to be open for anyone who needs it, we find that our current residents are much more settled without mixing. Therefore, Cairn will only be taking female referrals for now.
good options
Schools
Multiple options with good ratings and easy access means schooling from Cairn is not a problem. Our team work with the schools to create solutions that help our residents ease in at their own pace.
understanding
Dedicated Therapist
Should they want to, our YPs regularly meet with our therapist, who provides monthly reports to help both us and our young people keep a better current understanding of their minds and their needs.
best practice
Regular Training
With frequent training and advice updates, our carers are always using the best methods, both in general and in specific regard to our residents' individual requirements.
quiet with access
Rural Location
Cairn is situated on the edge of civilisation, with both village life and green space accessible nearby. Using a car, there are easy connections to wherever the YPs might need to go.
