Overall Experience

My Mother moved into Hazelwood Care Home in April 2022 following the onset of dementia and was a resident until March 2025, when she sadly passed away.
I cannot speak highly enough of the care and assistance that was provided to Mum by everyone at Hazelwood during her time at the Home, and the support

and consideration that was shown to us at the time of her passing, and would thoroughly recommend Hazelwood Care Home to anyone who is seeking a safe, happy and caring environment for their loved ones.
Thank you to everyone at Hazelwood!

My mother came here six weeks after hip surgery and from her home of over 50 years and she was certainly worried about this upheaval. The manager and all and all of the staff have been so engaging and her room is comfortable and with pictures brought from her home. It's an environment where she is confident,

comfortable and being extremely well cared for.

Overall Experience

When my husband was first transferred to Hazelwood Care Home three years ago he was in a terrible state, but thanks to all the wonderful staff and their top level care he is now in a stable condition. He loves his new home, and our family have such a weight lifted off of us knowing that he's so happy

and well looked after. It really does feel like a home away from home. The new manager is lovely and has maintained the high standards Hazelwood is renowned for. It's a warm, nurturing environment, everyone's friendly and helpful, with lots of activities and events to keep the residents engaged. We're eternally grateful to all the staff and can't recommend the home enough!

We came to Hazelwood Care Home in a time of need a few days before Christmas, hoping for some respite care for our elderly father. After explaining to the manager our situation, she immediately took control and drove to my father's home to carry out an initial assessment and put everything into place

for him to come into care on Christmas Eve. Wonderful people, very caring, lovely and clean, great facilities. They were our saviours, we will be forever grateful. Thank you to all.

Mum was taken into Hazelwood in June 2023, suffering with severe dementia; her condition worsened such that she sadly passed away this month. During her time at Hazelwood, the staff have been truly amazing showing her every care and attention. The family have been made to feel very welcome, and equally

receive warmth on all our visits. As she started to slip away from us, the team made sure that she was comfortable and free from agitation and any pain, treating at all times with the dignity that each of us would expect. I cannot praise Hazelwood highly enough.

Overall Experience

Mum has been at Hazelwood since March 2023, despite her deteriorating condition with dementia the level of care received at Hazelwood is a credit to all staff who have helped Mum settle into a very friendly home.
The staff are always cheerful, they build relationships with family members as well as

residents making it a pleasure to visit.
The daily range of stimulating activities is so important and because the team understand residents' needs they are all well catered for.
Food is varied and good quality, there is a private dining room should families wish to spend quality time with residents on special occasions.
Hazelwood have a good care plan with regular visits by doctors, hairdresser and chiropodist. Management encourage input from family and are always looking for ways to improve their service.
Mum benefits greatly from all the attention and as a son I know Mum is getting the best possible care. I would definitely recommend Hazelwood.

My husband settled in well straight away at Hazelwood. The manager is very kind and friendly. I am welcome to see my husband as often as I like and I'm encouraged to join in with various activities if I wish to. It's stimulating for my husband and makes his day more interesting. It often feels like

a club rather than a care home. He is very well looked after in regards to his medical welfare, which is very reassuring. All staff members are really caring and friendly.

From my very first visit I was struck by how lovely the home looked and how friendly, helpful and compassionate the people were at Hazelwood. Nothing was too much trouble and everything we asked for was provided. All the staff are wonderful with the residents and I see this time and again each time

I visit. My mum settled in immediately, which was a huge relief and she tells her family and friends that it is wonderful living there. When we visit, we are made to feel very welcome and can participate in the activities and become part of my mum's new life there. I would recommend it to anyone and in fact, I have told my own children that I would be very happy to live there myself if the time ever came. Thank you to the whole team for looking after my mum so well.

An amazing care home! All the staff are friendly, caring and supportive, they really go above and beyond. The manager is very personable and helpful, regularly checking in with residents and families, and continually striving to improve our experience - though Hazlewood is already in a league of its

own. My dad has been there nearly two years and he absolutely loves it, and we have no complaints at all. It’s a modern, clean building with a homely atmosphere, like one big family. The en-suite bedrooms are spacious and the food is great. There are lots of on-site facilities and a variety of activities for residents each week, as well as regular events that families can attend. The high level of person-centred care allows us to rest assured that my dad is safe, happy and well looked after. I honestly can't recommend it enough. I truly believe they have not only greatly improved his quality of life, they have extended it. We are so grateful for everyone at Hazlewood and all that they do.
