My mother has been at Hazeldell since November 2024. I have not been able to fault anything so far.
The home offers person centred care, and maintain independence where ever possible. I have not had any cause for concern since Mum has been a resident.
The care staff and managers alike are always
available and take an interest in both the residents and relatives. I am always kept up to date with any changes in Mums care needs.
There is a vast array of activities on offer but never forced on the resident's. The home is well decorated and the rooms are nice and comfortable. The meal choices are displayed on a daily basis with a variety of dishes on offer. Tea and coffees are always available.

These guys have done really well with my mother, she is brighter and more active than she's been for a few years.
Well looked after and well fed. The room isn't bad but could be a little bigger I guess but she moved from a bigger room to be downstairs due to her mobility so it was needed.

Mum has been a resident since 2019 and her Alzheimer's progression means her needs have changed over that time, but throughout she has been treated with care, respect and dignity. She still gains great enjoyment from all of the activities that go on during the week and the staff always try and get everyone
involved. As a family, we are always made to feel welcome when we visit and are thoughtfully consulted on Mum's ongoing care. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Hardwick Dene.

I wanted to write a review on the fabulous care that my Mum receives from Hardwicke Dene. The care she gets on a daily basis, I know she can be difficult at times, but ALL the staff at the home go above and beyond their duties and make sure Mum is taken care of. Dementia is such a horrible disease and
to deal with memory loss every minute of every day is so hard.
But Hardwicke Dene you can rest assured will care for your relative in every way possible and would recommend them to anyone when that time comes.

My mum has been at Hardwick Dene for over a year now. She has Alzheimer's which is slowly progressing. The staff are so patient and supportive of her needs. There are daily activities morning and afternoon. Lots going on out in the garden in the summer months. The residents are always encouraged to
join us be it baking, crafts, singing, exercise, live entertainers. The rooms are good.
It is clean and comfortable.
Maybe not as shiny and new looking as some of the fancy care homes that resemble hotels but the care here is so so good. That is what is important!
They really treat everyone like part of a big family.
I would recommend this care home to anyone over all the others.

When mum went into hospital and was then taken to the care home as we could not meet her needs any longer, it was obviously a worrying time for us all particularly as we hadn't viewed the care home. When we arrived to take mums belongings and check she was ok we was instantly uplifted by the warm welcome
it was really comforting to know that mum was being looked after by warm and caring people. Mum is very happy the staff always encourage her to mix and she has made friends and is doing really well, so much so that she looks much healthier and happier than before she went there. The staff keep us informed about everything and we are very happy with Hardwick Dene.

They have looked after our Mum as her needs have evolved, with plenty of activities when she was capable of them, transitioning to increased care as this has been needed.

My Dad has Alzheimer's and since being at The Haven he's settled in well, I often find him sitting by the open door of his room speaking to everyone who walks by. He appears well-kept and cheerful. Most of all he is safe and not lonely, and I know he's eating healthy. The staff always are cheerful and

I cannot rate Hazeldell enough, I managed to place both my in laws with the amazing team, social services wanted them split up as their care needs were very different, my father in law needing nursing home care. I am a registered Nurse and own my own Domiciliary Care company so I knew exactly what I
was looking for, I would recommend Hazeldell 100% to place a loved one there. We were always kept updated, my husband lost both his parents between September and December, the end of life care was impeccable thank you to your amazing team.

Overall Experience  Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5

I cannot praise the manager and staff enough at Brook House. My father-in-law has been a resident for nearly two years now and throughout that time, he has had many challenges in his general health and well-being. These challenges have been met by the team with care, empathy and intelligence. As relatives,
we have also felt supported and kept informed on a regular basis with any areas of concern and the staff are being creative with their ideas to resolve any issues. They are constantly reviewing procedures to change and improve on their already inclusive, caring and empowering work. They work well with other organisations to ensure the residents are enjoying the best care. I feel that my father is safe and secure at Brook House and that he is treated gently and with kindness at all times. The facility is always clean and tidy with friendly and helpful staff. It is pleasing to see that the residents have many trips out tailored to their needs and enjoyment. Highly recommended by us!

Reply from Patricia French, Registered Manager at Brook House

Thank you so much for such a glowing review of our home and the team at Brook House. It is a dedicated team approach that has enabled us to improve and continue to improve in providing the best possible care, for the residents to carry on enjoying both life inside and outside of Brook House.

My mother moved to Brook House following on from my father passing in a home they were residing together, at which time (July 2024) we rapidly took the decision to move our mother with immediate effect. At the former home, she was very depressed (even prior to my father's passing) often saying she was
living in a prison. She appeared very pale and totally unmotivated which we initially thought to be a decline in her condition however moving her to Brook House has proved we were wrong as since doing so, my mother has excelled virtually immediately. She is beautiful again in her appearance and blooming from within with a sparkle in her eyes, something we thought she had lost. The manager is a brilliant, hands-on manager, the senior and activity coordinator is amazing as is the deputy, also five members of staff, in particular, are outstanding and others too whom I do not yet know names. Outings and activities are outstanding too. At this time, after five months, I can honestly not yet fault Brook House.
