25th of July 2019, I was informed by the hospital that I needed to put Mum in a nursing home, 2 sources independently recommended Hazelwood Care Home. that day I made contact with the managers assistant and was shown round. I was flying on Holiday on the 2nd of August, the manager was on leave until
Tuesday 30th, I was told he would probably assist Mum the next day. He came in one day early just to see his CQC results. This confirmed to me that the manager was dedicated and the home worked well. All the staff and the home has exceeded at all levels. I commend them and recommend them.

I cannot thank the staff at Hazelwood enough for their professionalism, friendliness and above all the outstanding care received. The communication with me regarding my relative is excellent and I have been given a lot of support too. I am continually impressed by the extremely high standard of care,
dignity and respect given to my relative by all of the staff. The home environment is perfect, with cleanliness and hygiene second to none. This is an extremely well-managed home and the manager is at the heart of the home, very easy to talk to, very supportive, and very, very caring.
I wish to thank everyone for their incredible work to provide a home for its residents of which they should be very proud.

Dad moving into a nursing home was such a difficult time for all of us, the team at Hazelwood have worked so hard, with compassion and kindness to make sure that he has settled well and that we are included in his care. Dad has lived at Hazelwood for nearly a year now and the team have encouraged and
supported him to gain back some of his limited independence, he looks the most relaxed I have seen him in a long time.
We are always welcomed and Dad has remained well, during such a difficult time.
Thank you.

Reply from George Joseph, Registered Manager at Hazelwood Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind words, we really appreciate receiving your positive feedback and so pleased that you are happy with the care we are providing for your dad.

My father moving into Hazelwood in July 2020 was one of the best decisions we have made in relation to his care. All of the staff at Hazelwood are friendly, polite and always have a smile on their face. My dad spends a lot of time in the office with the care home manager or sat by the nurse's station
at weekends. They never make him, or us, feel that this is an inconvenience in any way. They keep us informed of dad's health or if he needs anything, but call at least once a month with an update and to check with us to see if we have any concerns. Their Covid precautions have been excellent and we have been able to visit regularly using the garden, a dedicated visitor room or his own room more recently. Whilst my dad now has Alzheimer's and isn't as sociable as he once was, the staff gently encourage him to participate in the regularly organised activities. The home is clean, well maintained and provides the safe environment we needed for dad. He, and us, are very happy. Thank you.

My father had been a resident of Hazelwood for a little over two years. When I turned up without an appointment to view, I was shown around by the manager, greeted with a smile and a good morning by staff, and immediately knew it was the perfect place for my sometimes difficult Father who had one-sided
paralysis from a stroke and dementia. I fought hard with the local council to have my dad placed in Hazelwood, and I have never regretted that.
From the staff member in reception, the manager, and all the staff, I've received nothing but friendliness and professionalism when required. They treated my father exceptionally well, and they made me feel part of their family. Invitations to events and BBQ's were always extended.
When my father passed away, he was treated with dignity and respect. Many members of staff came by his room to say goodbye, and they took the time to make sure my brother and I were fed and supplied with tea while we sat with Dad.
I can highly recommend.

Reply from George Joseph, Registered Manager at Hazelwood Care Home

My mother, who has Alzheimer's, is extremely well cared for at Hazelwood, and I cannot recommend them highly enough. All the carers and nursing staff are kind, caring and professional and know and manage their clients very well. The manager and admin team are also excellent and have provided both practical
and emotional support to me which is much appreciated. The home is very well run and managed, and you feel that everything is focused on the clients and their needs.

My mother has been a resident of Hazelwood Care Home since April (2020). The management and staff are absolutely superb; they are so kind and patient with Mum, I could not ask for more. The building and gardens are well maintained, and the hair salon is a great boost for Mum. The events are excellent;
the residents have been enjoying BBQ's in the sun. The staff are helpful, compassionate and considerate. Mum is content with her own possessions around her to make her feel at home. I am happy my lovely mum is at Hazelwood.

My stepmother was very distraught when admitted to Hazelwood. Within three days, they had managed to calm her down completely - something rehab hadn't managed to do in seven weeks. I am extremely happy that she is now in a safe place and it is obvious from our meeting with the manager recently, that
he is totally on top of the covid19 situation or knows my stepmother's little foibles. It would appear that she will have a stimulating and anxiety-free life while she is in their care.

I have been more than happy with the care received after being admitted from the hospital in April 2020. The home has contacted me frequently during the time spent here, keeping me updated with the progression of illness and changes in medication. The staff are all friendly and helpful. The rooms and
communal area are beautifully kept.

My mother has been at Hazelwood Care Home for 4 months. Most of this time has involved the Covid19 lockdown. My visits have therefore been more limited than under normal circumstances. When I have been able to visit I have been very pleased with what I have seen. Mum is safe and very well cared for.
All of the staff are very friendly and helpful. I have been kept well informed about Mum's health and care despite the early restrictions. Visiting re-commenced as soon as it was safely possible to do so and a good vigilance has been maintained throughout. I am very happy that Mum has been able to move there once living safely at home was no longer viable. I am currently unable to comment on the activities as they have been suspended in the main due to Covid and also my mother prefers to stay in her room. I would certainly recommend Hazelwood to anybody looking for residential care.

We struggled to put our mum in a home but we shouldn't have worried, she was in Hazelwood for 7 weeks until she passed away. The staff are amazing and nothing is to much trouble, they genuinely care about the residents and their families. We would like to thank them for making our mum's last few months
comfortable and for reassuring her when she was scared and for the high standard of nursing care and kindness that she received. We would also like to thank Hazelwood's manager for his professional and approachable manner in which he runs Hazelwood. We will never forget his kindness to our mum and us as a family.

Staff have all been very courteous and helpful. The home is always clean. The staff are very caring, and my wife is well looked after. Always been understanding and helpful with PPE for me given the current covid situation. When I phone, they are always cheerful and happy to speak to me, give me information
about my wife, particularly during the lockdown period.

The manager at Hazelwood goes above and beyond to ensure that the residents have the best possible experience. He is always available to relatives to discuss care plans and outcomes. The staff, without exception, gave excellent care to my husband in the seven months he was a resident. Nothing was ever
too much trouble - they responded to every request immediately and cheerfully. He was always treated with dignity and respect.

My mum was only in the home for 6 days she was fast-tracked out of hospital for end of life care. I am extremely pleased that I found this home and she spent her last few days here. It was just a shame that she wasn't here for longer as she would have completely loved it. The caring staff and the activities
they provide as she was a peoples person. It was more like a 5-star hotel than a care home

My father-in-law has been a resident at Hazelwood since the end of 2018. Throughout his time there, he has received outstanding care. The staff have been friendly, kind, caring and extremely attentive. He has always been clean, shaven and dressed in clean clothes. His room hs always been clean, and
meals have been of an excellent standard, so much so, I truly believe his care prolonged his life. The manager has always been accessible, and I cannot thank everyone enough for your professionalism.

Hazelwood is a lovely care home where everyone is treated as "family". The care by the staff is excellent, and nothing is ever too much trouble for them. The food is excellent too, just like homemade, with plenty of choices. We were very lucky that Dad was able to live there, and I recommend "Hazelwood"
to others.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.892)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.892) out of 10 for Hazelwood Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 25 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.892 for Hazelwood Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (265 Excellents x 5) + (32 Goods x 4) ) ÷ 297 Ratings = 4.892

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hazelwood Care Home is based on 25 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 50 registered maximum number of service users is 10, which has been reached with 25 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
