The staff at Hazel End have worked hard to successfully settle my dad into their care. My dad had suffered considerable trauma over a short period and they have looked after both his physical and mental health, while caring for him while living with dementia. Hazel End is a lovely friendly community
with great entertainment and the residents are treated like family members. All the staff are lovely and helpful, nothing is too much bother.
My dad’s room is luxurious, he has an en-suite shower room with a patio door to the outside rear garden. He appreciates the large TV in his room and the staff are more than happy to find him programmes that he likes or set the football up on his iPad. As a keen gardener, Dad has been able to get out into the garden to tend the plants and remove weeds, ready for some summer bedding plants.
I am so grateful to the team at Hazel End, they’ve supported us as a family at a very difficult time.

Reply from Jessica Tilson, Marketing at Hazel End Care Home

My 98-year-old mother was transferred to Hazel End in July 2020 in the midst of the current pandemic. This move between care homes was unexpected but the management team at Hazel End completed the transition efficiently and with care and consideration despite the difficulties incurred by the government
guidelines and my mother’s current stage of Dementia. We have struggled with communication at times as my mother has sight and hearing impairment and unfortunately, there are often issues with good connection on Zoom and Skype. This often gives rise to frustration for my mother and family members who are unable to visit her under normal circumstances. We are very pleased to have personal contact with the Lifestyle coordinators and this does allow us to keep in close contact with my mother’s day to day activities and general well being which she appears to enjoy. We have regular updates from management and are regularly informed of any changes in her care plan.

Reply from Jessica Tilson, Executive Assistant at Hazel End Care Home

We would like to thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We’re so pleased you chose Hazel End for your mother to reside within, and that you’re happy and feel this was the right choice. We’re sorry you sometimes encounter some issues with Zoom/Skype - we will continue to look into how we can improve our connections. Our Lifestyle Team will always be on hand to provide updates and support. We will share your feedback and ensure they’re aware their incredible support is recognised.

Mum was the third resident at Hazel End and as such settling in, could have been awkward, however, this was not the case. The care provided by the staff
was first class and has remained of the highest level. one of the hardest things to do, is making the decision of where a loved one will spend their
final years.
I am pleased to say we could not have chosen more wisely. the facility itself is fantastic and only bettered by the staff that care for mum.

Reply from Jessica Tilson, Executive Assistant at Hazel End Care Home

Thank you so much for your kind comments and sharing this feedback. It's been a pleasure to support Mum and to continue doing so. We're so pleased Hazel End has been the right choice, and we will continue to ensure you and Mum are happy. We hope to be able to invite you into the home very soon to share some quality time and experience the wonderful facilities once again. Thank you again for your time and lovely comments. Our team will receive recognition for their amazing support.

My father spent four weeks in Hazel End Care Home for respite care after spending a few weeks in the hospital. We cannot fault the care and support for my father and for us as a family from the management as well as the staff we came into contact with. He is now in his own home, a stronger person thanks
to his care. We would have no hesitation in recommending Hazel End Care Home to anyone, and certainly, if my father needed either more respite care or indeed a permanent stay in a care home, Hazel End would be our first choice.

We're so grateful you have taken the time to share such wonderful feedback with us, we really appreciate this, and will thoroughly enjoy sharing this feedback with our fantastic team. We're so pleased your Father is safe and well, and Hazel End was able to help on this journey. We hope your Father remains safe and well but would be happy to provide support once again should this ever be required. It would be lovely to see him once again and to hopefully, allow your team further into our home.

Dad moved in for a couple of weeks at the start of COVID to keep him safe, no one knew that it would go on for so long. It has been a relief that he decided to stay at Hazel End permanently and I know that he is well looked after all the time - it has taken a great strain off of me as his main carer
during such a difficult year. I think the procedures for visitors is great and I can’t wait to be able to get back to normal and be able to spend time with Dad in a more normal situation - I know we will be welcomed in as soon as it is safe.

My family friend came to the home in March. It is with heartfelt thanks for the incredible help, care and kindness the whole team showed her. Especially during her end of life care, even in the most difficult of circumstances with the COVID pandemic, we were able to visit in a safe way to say goodbye.
The staff and management are outstanding. They really went above and beyond. It gave us great comfort to know she was comfortable and well cared for in her final days. I cannot recommend the home enough.

I have visited many care homes in my previous career as a hairdresser and beautician, Hazel End is one of the finest homes I have ever had the pleasure to visit, I volunteer occasionally and do residents nails etc. I am always made to feel very welcome, the management and staff are second to none,
so professional kind and caring, it's wonderful to see the ladies and gents who live there looking so happy and often enjoying activities and being entertained, even in these difficult times they have had socially distanced entertainment outside in their lovely garden.
The food always smells and looks delicious and the building is always cleaned to an excellent standard.
Sadly I no longer have my parents but if I did and they needed residential care this would be my first choice, I would highly recommend Hazel End to anyone looking for a home from home for their loved one.

I have regularly helped out with a number of things within the care home. Whilst I have not been in the home since March, I would not hesitate to recommend the home. During my normal work, I have stayed in many hotels both in this country and abroad. I have to say that the quality of the rooms, lounge
areas and other areas equals the hotels that I have visited and in some cases, the home is nicer. I have observed the staff interacting with the residents and have the feeling of a homely environment. There always seems to be activities going on with plenty of smiles and laughter. The staff seem to really care about the residents and it seems more than a job for them. Whilst I have never had a meal at the home there is always homemade cake on offer and if this is anything to go by the food will be excellent. Sadly, I always seem to just miss the lemon drizzle cake. In summary a beautiful building with caring staff and a jovial atmosphere.

Our mum moved into Hazel End after spending a few weeks in hospital to have some respite care. Mum settled in very quickly and was made to feel welcome by staff and residents alike. She said it was like staying in a hotel as the standard was so high! She particularly enjoyed the food and having her
hair done and nails painted. After a long period of illness and lockdown she really enjoyed the company of the carers and other residents. Mum is now well enough to live in her own home but if our situation changed again our family would not hesitate in using Hazel End again. The facilities are exceptional and the staff are friendly, caring and professional.

This was my nan's third care home. She had previously been unable to settle and adjust to life in a care home which leads to her becoming less mobile, more isolated and often very confused.
Since she has been at Hazel End Care Home she has, for the first time, settled and is the happiest she has been
for a very long time. Staff have encouraged her to mix with other residents and to become more mobile. Nan can be quite outspoken and difficult at times but all the staff remain professional, kind, caring, tolerant and always have a great sense of humour which is very much needed when caring for my nan. The management and staff here are both experienced and dedicated, they work tirelessly to support both the residents and their families.
The facilities and furnishings are fabulous and designed specifically with the residents in mind.
Everyone at Hazel End always go over and above, I couldn't think of a better place for my nan to be.

Current Review Score: 9.7 (9.747)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.7 (9.747) out of 10 for Hazel End Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.7 out of 5 from 31 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 30 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 4.747 for Hazel End Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (288 Excellents x 5) + (68 Goods x 4) + (9 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) + (1 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 367 Ratings = 4.747

  • 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 Hazel End Care Home is based on 30 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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 30 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.

I have worked in care for 9 years starting off in the community and then coming to Hazel End just before we opened our doors.


Prior to working in care, I worked in the hospital as a domestic and one lady thanked me for supporting her and she sadly passed away. This really made me rethink and I was proud of myself for supporting her and had a sense of fulfilment for how grateful she was.


I started working at Hazel End as a Senior Carer, I progressed to Deputy Manager then Care Manager and now Home Manager. I have learnt so much working at Hazel End Care Home and progressed within the home. I'm proud to support our residents and make each day enjoyable living with us.
