I am so grateful that my mother was able to live at Hazeldene House for the last 2 years of her life where she reached her 100th Birthday.
The staff were wonderful and gave her excellent care with dignity and kindness. I cannot thank them enough.

My mother was at Hazeldene House for two months and the care and attention she received was excellent. It was reassuring for us as a family that she was being looked after so well. I would definitely recommend Hazeldene House. The staff and management were fantastic.

My mother moved to Hazeldene in May 2018. She has a lovely room which she now calls home. The staff are very friendly and caring and always polite. They deal with her every need and have got to know her likes and dislikes. They have a gentle and encouraging manner. She feels safe in knowing there is
always someone there. But also enjoys the sanctuary of her own space when she wants it. She eats very well and enjoys the activities especially musical ones.

Review from Muriel F (Daughter of Resident) published on 22 May 2019 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My mother and father became residents in 2016 - my mother needed nursing care due to cancer and also had Alzheimer's and my father had had Alzheimer's for about seven years. The care, and indeed love, that they were given was remarkable. I have never seen anything similar in any other care home where
I have visited. I have never had a moment's worry about their well being and, since my mother died in 2016, my father has been so well loved and cared for I could not have wished for more. Although there have been difficulties involved in the running of the home over the last few months, this has never affected the wonderful care given.

My brother has been in Hazeldene House for the past year. I could not find a better home for him to be in. The staff are so kind, friendly and caring not only to residents but family members also.
Any problems that have arisen have been dealt with promptly.
I cannot praise this home enough.

Very nice helpful staff, very nice and clean and very nice to be asked if we would like a cup of tea and it was very nicely served with biscuits and serviettes.


This was a new home for us to visit and was very impressed.


One problem, my father had called in this morning re his sister left his

name and phone number and no one returned the call.

Review from Ruth B (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 July 2018 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My recently deceased mother spent the final 3 years of her life at Hazeldene House. She was so happy here; calm, relaxed, chatty, smiley, often making others laugh along with her.
This was the best 3 years I had with mum. She had a difficult and hard life and our relationship wasn’t the best. But
her time at Hazeldene changed all this and we grew close and loving. For this, I will always be grateful.
Thank you for the quality care, love, patience, and fun you gave my mum. She really did end up in the best place possible.

I wish I could rate this nursing home 10 out of 5.
My brother-in-law was nursed here for three weeks and the care and dedication of the staff is well over and beyond! They not only cared for and nursed my brother-in-law but offered support and care to the whole family
I can not recommend Hazeldene
House highly enough - every small detail has been covered - a big thank you all.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.879)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.879) out of 10 for Hazeldene House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 24 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 24 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:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.879 for Hazeldene House is calculated as follows: ( (241 Excellents x 5) + (29 Goods x 4) + (2 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 272 Ratings = 4.879
  2. 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 Hazeldene House is based on 24 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 + 0.025 = 4
    2. 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 75 registered maximum number of service users is 15, which has been reached with 24 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
