We had a very emotional day at Hazelbrook for Noels 81st birthday. The manager, cook and carers came in with a cake & candle singing happy birthday! We threw
Thank you so much for your kind words, i will share this with the rest of the team.
My 90 year old mother has been at Hazelbrook for two years and I'm very impressed with the care and support she has received. She is very happy there and is always clean and well dressed by the carers. The staff are extremely caring and friendly and are always willing to do more than is expected. I am confident that she is in safe hands and that both myself and my brother (who live locally) are always kept informed and also my sister, who lives in Australia, is also kept informed.
I will pass this onto the team.
My mum was admitted in April 2025. I visited many homes before deciding on Hazelbrook. I chose Hazelbrook because that important 1st impression was very good. It is clean, it doesn't smell, it is welcoming, and the staff interact really well with the patients. The manager is very professional and is extremely knowledgeable about the complex care needs of the elderly. It's not a 5 star hotel, and there may be a bit of chipped paint here and there, but for me, its all about the quality of care, which is excellent. My mum has settled in well, and is a lot more calm now. She is treated with respect, understanding and patience. Her dignity is always preserved. I see staff clean her room regularly, bedding is always fresh, and Mum is in clean clothes every day. I highly recommend Hazelbrook.
Thank you for your kind words I will share these with the team
The care that my grandma has received has been brilliant. The management of the care home fully understood my grandma's needs and what needed to be put in place. Everyone we have met involved in my grandmas's care have been professional, friendly and looked after my grandma well. The building could do with a refresh. But the care home is clean at all times.
Thank you for your kind words I will share these with the team
Hazelcourt is a good example of how a care home should be run.
Thank you for your kind words I will share these with the team
All staff friendly, competent & the treatment/care she receives is first rate. Although, always clean, the overall appearance (decor) of the rooms could do with a update/refresh, but the care my mother receives far outweighs the minor aesthetic aspects of the home.
Thank you for your kind words I will share these with the team
I feel that this is a kind and caring team. Our Dad has been here for nearly a year and is treated respectfully and compassionately. I feel assured that he is in safe hands.
Thank you for your kind words I will ensure I pass them on to the team
During his stay, my Dad received excellent care, creating an environment where he felt comfortable. Every single member of staff who was involved in his care was attentive, compassionate and always willing to answer our questions. Their kindness and professionalism truly stood out.
Overall, Hazelbrook Christian Nursing Home provided a safe and caring environment for my Dad during his respite care. I am very grateful for their support and understanding.
Thank you for your kind comments which are much appreciated by the whole team at Hazelbrook. We strive to provide the best care to all our residents and all feedback is valuable to help us achieve this.
My dad is really well looked after for all his needs. I would like more one to one care if possible or days out. Overall my dad is a lot better than the day he came in, thanks to all the staff. The home needs a lot up updating.
The staff are always helpful and friendly, although they can be very busy. Nice garden space for summer.
When Mum became too poorly to be cared for at home, it was a very worrying time for us all. I have to say though, that from the first week at Hazelbrook Christian Nursing Home, not only was Mum made welcome but all the family too. We never once felt uneasy leaving Mum in their care and she was happy and said she felt safe. Her room was spotless and personal care a priority throughout. Staff gave Mum every opportunity to engage with other residents and enjoy daily activities. We visited every day for almost 8 months and were given updates on arrival of how Mum had been and if they had any concerns. I was contacted a few times in the early hours because nurses and carers had seen deterioration in Mum's condition and it helped me to rest and trust that I would be alerted quickly if necessary. We were very impressed. Mum's passing was gradual and peaceful and the highest level of care was constantly maintained. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending Hazelbrook to anyone.
Thank you so much Jan for your lovely comments, it was our pleasure to care for your mum. All of us miss your daily visits.
Having spent three months in hospital, my aunt was moved to this care home as part of the rehabilitation/review service provided by the hospital (once the hospital can do more). Although my aunt was only at Hazelbrook for a week before sadly passing away, I found all the staff to be so caring and considerate. It doesn't matter what the fixtures and fittings look like, a place should be judged on how the residents are cared for. I really feel that she was looked after well and with dignity and respect in her final week of her life. Thank you to all the staff.
Staff were magnificent. Even stood outside the home as mark of respect on Mum's funeral.
Thank you very much for your review it is very much appreciated. Please keep in touch you and your mum are still very much in our thoughts.
This home looked after my mother many years ago and my cousin in the last few years. Many of the staff are still the same and show the same level of care consistently. During Covid they have excelled, always asking if they can do more and keeping me informed the whole way through. They have limited space but erected a place where I can safely see my cousin. The staff go the extra mile to help in these strange times and the recent sweet trolley for the residents was a really good idea. I would recommend this home to anyone for their loved family members.
Thank you for this wonderful review. We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
Residents are treated as individuals, care and regular activities are tailored to suit individual needs. At breakfast residents can choose whatever they would like to eat on that particular day, which our mum particularly appreciates.
Each resident has their own key worker, which is helpful to Mum as her care remains constant which I am sure she benefits from.
Everywhere is very clean and tidy at all times. The furniture is well maintained and comfortable. All clothing is washed and ironed on site, which ensures that residents have their own clothes returned to them.
Outside activities are encouraged when and where possible. Residents are able to sit outside in the grounds when they would like to do so.
For Easter they have made Easter bonnets during a craft afternoon. Regular sing songs take place, which Mum enjoys.
Trips to the library and book choosing takes place when possible.
Thank you for this wonderful review. We really do appreciate you taking the time to leave your feedback.
