Hazelhurst Nursing Home has a Review Score of 10 (9.962) out of 10, based on 19 reviews in the last 2 years.
Over all time Hazelhurst Nursing Home has 71 reviews.
However, they haven't managed to get my mum to brush her natural teeth and clean and remove her denture and soak it or assist with this.
Overall, I'm very happy with the environment, activities, food and nursing care and would recommend this nursing home.
It is a beautiful place, very, very clean and inviting.
The staff are wonderful and all very friendly. It's still early days but feel my mum will be well looked after and I have peace of mind.
My wife became a resident on 12th June 2018, little more than a month in which to base this review. We chose Hazelhurst because it was well qualified and staffed to look after my wife, the positive attitude of the managerial staff and the facilities it offered. So far, our hopes and expectations have been borne out and we are confident that they will continue to be so. However, these are early days.
My dad was very well cared for despite his challenging health condition and when the end came, my mother was treated with great kindness and compassion. First impressions are always important: we viewed several Nursing Homes before deciding on Hazelhurst, which right from the start impressed and reassured us. With its glorious gardens too, it is the loveliest of places to spend time whether you are resident there or not.
Very pleased.
My mother who is 102 went into Hazelhurst for 2 and a half weeks repsite whilst my husband and I had our annual holiday. She has had respite in other homes and was extremely negative about going anywhere. However, we felt she would be well looked after and although she was openly difficult, when we left her she received with warmth and understanding. We have had nothing but good reports from everyone who visited while we were away. We were told if she did not like this home, nothing would do. After fetching her home she has nothing negative to say.
I have been to some care homes to visit but this one is like a 4-star hotel. Staff very good, always someone about. Activities and gardens, by far one of the best care homes I have visited. I have a long time to go yet, but when I need a place, this will be where I want to go.
I have been impressed with the overall standard of care at Hazelhurst Nursing Home. The residents are treated with care, compassion and respect. The attention to detail with the environment - decoration of the interiors and the gardens, especially the amazing ever changing floral displays - fab!
The continual experimentation in the kitchen addressing the diverse demands of its residents. The afternoon entertainment is varied and inclusive - what I really admire is the positive drive to keep things 'fresh' and the concern for others that the nurses and carers display.
My elderly Mother was recently diagnosed with advanced stages of lung and brain cancer that was beyond viable treatment. We chose Hazelhurst as the location for her Palliative care. I cannot say enough good things about the care she received and the support and cooperation we received as immediate family members. From the minute my Mother arrived the staff at Hazelhurst were phenomenal, they cared for her with dignity, compassion, love and a level of genuine caring that was as if she was their own Mother and always with a smile. There was nothing that she needed or we asked for that was too much trouble. As she declined they made adjustments daily based on her needs and communicated regularly with us. Words cannot describe how grateful we are as a family for the level of care our Mother received from a true team of caring and professional staff. With the deepest appreciation and sincerest thanks.
Everything is done by the staff to enable my wife to be settled and cared for in her new environment.
She is treated with dignity in an informal and relaxed manner and is encouraged to participate in the numerous activities available.
The caring staff are local to the area and are very pleasant a well as efficient. The atmosphere is happy and the surroundings are good. Food is excellent.
