Overall Experience

The team at Hazelhurst are wonderful! My mother was sent there in November 2024 for end-of-life care. She was bedbound and dying, having lost the will to live. The care team were kind, encouraging and loving and did all they could to make her happier. They saved her life and rehabilitated her, gently

and thoughtfully. She's walking again with a rollator and is even strong enough to go on excursions in the minivan. Her recovery is miraculous and would not have happened without the staff at Hazelhurst. The care, wellbeing, catering, cleaning, maintenance and garden teams work together excellently!
Mum thoroughly enjoys the food, praises it highly, she loves the flower gardens and the views across the beautifully landscaped 19 acres. Seasonal events are made special for everyone and she enjoys the various activities that are organised and has made new friends.
Having worked as an agency carer in various homes myself when I was young, I can honestly say that Hazelhurst is the best ever!

Overall Experience

What an extraordinary home with an extraordinary staff! I originally found Hazelhurst while in the USA visiting a dear friend who wanted to return to England for Hospice. He didn't have any family who could accommodate him yet they all very much wanted to see him and spend time with him.
Honestly?

Hazelhurst could not have been a better place for him and all of us to spend his last days! The staff (including the doctor) were universally warm and loving, the room was spacious and comfortable, the grounds were simply BEAUTIFUL -and much to his surprise my friend (and all of us visitors) also loved the food!
I read the reviews before applying for a bed for my friend and just prayed that the reality would be as great as they were. And guess what? It very much was! Across the board. If I could award Hazelhurst six stars out of five I would. Highly recommended!

Reply from Karen Rogers, Provider at Hazelhurst Nursing Home

Thank you so much for this lovely review. What an absolute honour it was to support you to make it possible for your friend to return to England from America, it was incredible that we made this happen. Thankfully we had some gorgeous weather and he was able to enjoy the beautiful gardens with you and his family. I hope you will have happy memories of these special days. Your review will mean so much to the team. Thank you

Overall Experience

Hazelhurst is the most wonderful nursing home. The place, the people, the level of care provided, the welcome given to my relative which enabled him to settle into his new life so quickly and so well. The reassurance this gives to his friends and family that he is happy, well looked after and cared

for. The staff are amazing and treat everyone with great dignity, kindness, compassion and understanding always going the extra mile to bring happiness to their residents. The accommodation is lovely, being able to enjoy walks in the garden, summer picnics, Christmas Fayre, carol concerts, drinks and meals with a relative is all very special. I am very thankful for the care my relative receives and the joy the staff bring to his life for which I will forever be grateful. I would highly recommend Hazelhurst Nursing Home, visiting my relative is always a pleasure as you feel part of the Hazelhurst family and that is very special.

The staff care is kindness. The home is clean and nice modern rooms. The day time activities are perfect. Having to put my mum into a home was and still is very difficult to live with, but there were no other option. Thankfully we found Hazelhurst which has made the process less painful.

Review from L F (Daughter of Resident) published on 2 October 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My father had been a resident at Hazelhurst for a year until he sadly passed away in August. As a nurse myself and someone who has previously been involved in hospital CQC inspections my standards are very high. The compassionate, holistic care provided is of the highest standard.
My father was treated

as an individual in all aspects of his care, which made the difficult transition to a nursing home from home so much easier for him.
All of the staff are just wonderful; in recent times I have spent long periods of time at the home and have heard how they talk to the residents in such a respectful, caring and friendly way.
My father passed away at Hazelhurst and the end-of-life care he received was without fault. He was treated with dignity and respect, and as a family, nothing was too much, the staff went above and beyond.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Hazelhurst as a Nursing home - but it is more than this which makes it so special.

Review from Sam J (Daughter-in-law of Resident) published on 5 July 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Hazelhurst is where I would choose to go if I need to be a resident in a Care Home - is there anything more to be said!
The staff, accommodation, garden and grounds are stunning and lift the spirits. Since arriving at Hazelhurst my mother-in-law has begun to glow and seems rejuvenated after having

been diagnosed with dementia, and being separated from her husband who also has dementia and having to leave her home.
She is the happiest and most relaxed I have seen in years!
Staff are warm, welcoming, professional and committed, with an appropriate and much-appreciated sense of humour. The food is home cooked and I am told is fabulous. The care is exceptional and leaves you feeling reassured.
My mother-in-law is taking part in lots of activities has made a best friend and believes one member of staff is 'his lordship' and owns the manor! She cannot speak more highly of the home and each week shows me and tells me how wonderful it is.
I just want to say a massive thank you to all the staff!

Overall Experience

As next of kin for A and he spent his final nine weeks at Hazelhurst. He was already very frail on arrival and the care team were just wonderful in addressing his needs, getting to know him and nurturing him. The home is an amazing place, where nothing is too much trouble and the staff make such an

effort in getting to know each resident and what can help them feel happy. The team did their very best with A and I myself was welcomed with open arms and felt valued and treated as a member of the Hazelhurst family. During A's final days, I moved in to be with my loved one, this was encouraged and welcomed and I felt so looked after at such a difficult time.
What I really loved, was the openness and 'open door' policy of the home - nothing is hidden, everything is transparent and you can arrive at any time, be anywhere and see and hear the same level of absolute care with every single resident openness, love, TLC and A, high level of nurturing. It really is outstanding in every single way.

Overall Experience

My mum was welcomed the moment she arrived and looked after with great professionalism, care, and concern for her wishes as an individual. Soon after arriving, she required end-of-life care and this was given to her in an exemplary fashion. The staff was supportive of myself and my husband as we sat

with her and other family visitors. While we found the rooms and facilities at Hazelhurst excellent, its greatest asset is its staff. I am sure if my Mum had lived longer they would have found ways to help her settle in and have a good quality of life.

Review from C W (Sister of Resident) published on 6 February 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My sister has been at Hazelhurst for just over 1 year now following a severe stroke. She is only 55 years old. As a family, this has been life-changing for us all and difficult to deal with. Making sure that my sister has the best life possible has been our utmost priority. The love, support and kindness

that our whole family has received from everyone at Hazelhurst has been tremendous. The staff are constantly trying to think of activities more suitable for my sister due to her age and they treat her as an individual. Nothing is too much trouble and we are all very grateful. Having viewed many homes before choosing Hazelhurst I can honestly say, there is none better. If anyone has to make the decision for a loved one to go into care Hazelhurst is outstanding in every way.

Review from Neil P (Husband of Resident) published on 31 January 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wife has been a resident at Hazlehurst for over a year having suffered a stroke and needing a high level of care.
I regularly visit the home and spend a considerable amount of time in the home which allows me to witness how patients are treated, cared for etc.
I am delighted with our experience

at Hazlehurst. The home is like a family to my wife. All of the staff genuinely care about my wife and provide a fantastic level of care. This also extends to the whole team from the gardeners, cleaners, chef - to everyone. She is treated with respect and dealt with in a kind and considerate manner and the same service is given to all residents from what I have seen. There are activities for the patients and good facilities. Low turnover of staff with plenty of experience and expertise. A professional service delivered in a personal style. I know my wife has great care so I can relax without constantly worrying about her.

Overall Experience

My mother was a resident at Hazelhurst Nursing Home for the last few weeks of her life, and in that time, she was treated with the utmost respect, kindness and compassion. At times, she had little or no appetite - the staff and catering team would spend time with her to encourage her to try all sorts

of different foods.
My mother had the most dignified death that we, as a family, could have wished for, and that is thanks to the wonderful team at the home. We, as a family, will always be grateful.

We were struggling to cope and realised we needed help and specialist help at that. That’s exactly what we found at Hazelhurst. Friendly and professional staff providing a home-from-home experience and all done with the utmost of care. My relative's return to good health was swift once he was given

the care he needed. It’s a great comfort to know that he could go any time he needed to. Thanks to everyone for getting my relative back home in a super quick time.

Overall Experience

We had to book into Hazelhurst as my relative was very frail after contracting Covid and wasn’t coping with our support alone and we all realised professional help was needed and that’s just what we got. Once my relative was mobile again, which was only after a few days, then he made great progress

and in no time was back to his normal self. He was able to go back home where he continues to live independently with our support. We couldn’t be more pleased with the outcome of his stay at Hazelhurst. Thank you to all who he came into contact with.

Review from B B (Husband of Resident) published on 13 January 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My wife entered Hazelhurst in July 2020. She has advanced Alzheimers and severe osteoarthritis. During the height of the Covid emergency, I was very impressed by the way in which the manager and staff coped with formidable problems created by the pandemic, balancing the tension between maintaining residents'

safety and allowing as much access to relatives/ friends as possible.
Now that the Covid threat has decreased there are clearly still challenges in being able to operate the nursing home in the light of rising costs and being able to recruit and retain staff. That Hazelhurst continues to be warm and welcoming for residents and visitors is a great credit to management and the dedicated staff. The ethos of dignity for residents is evident as is the commitment of staff to their often difficult tasks. It's hard to believe there is anywhere better for my wife to be now that I can no longer meet her needs at home. Thank you to the manager and all of your team.

Overall Experience

I cannot thank the staff at Hazelhurst enough, they have been there for both my mother and the family at all times during the past seven and a half years and right up until the end. Their dedication and also love towards her has always been incredible and has been a huge comfort to the family, knowing

that she has been in such excellent hands and in such a wonderful setting and environment. During Covid, my siblings and I were able to see and engage with our Mother via video call, each and every week, and that experience was always invaluable to us. Thank you so much! Special thank you to the staff member that organised these calls plus also the weekly video Church calls which we know Mum would have loved.
