Overall Experience

The atmosphere is always welcoming. The staff are absolutely fantastic-so friendly, attentive, and genuinely caring. They always go above and beyond for our Auntie. The personal connections they have built with our aunt is truly appreciated. The facility is becoming more well-maintained and the environment

is also becoming more attractive. We are so grateful for the level of care and kindness my aunt receives here. Highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a supportive and friendly home.
I would also like to thank everyone for the positive experience the students are receiving on their work experience. This is so much appreciated.

Overall Experience

My mum moved here in November from another care home. The change in Mum is remarkable. She has gone from being in bed most of the time at the other care home to being up and dressed, eating her meals at the table, and interacting with other residents and staff. We are very happy with Hazeldene. The

staff are always helpful and management has always addressed any concerns or worries we had regarding Mum. As a family, we would recommend Hazeldene Care Home.

Overall Experience

My mother-in-law came to Hazeldene in November 2023.
The difference in her from her previous care home is outstanding.
She is chatty when we visit and says she’s happy there.
She plays cards and takes part in other activities, even teaching staff card games.
Her room is homely and comfortable.

Staff and management are always friendly and helpful.
As a family, we are very happy with Hazeldene and would recommend it to others.

Overall Experience

Hazeldean is a good, safe place for our mum to stay - the previous home was a disgrace! It was distressing for Mum and us - she is 100% better here out in the lounge every day. Mum is always happy and chatty, not like before, and this is down to the care given by the helpful, friendly and caring staff,

and we are grateful for that.
Thank you, team.

Overall Experience

I have always found the staff to be helpful and friendly. I have always been informed by the staff if the resident has been unwell or had a fall and what treatment has been done. The relative that we have is in the dementia unit, and I know that it is not easy looking after someone with this illness,

and I appreciate everything that they do.

Review from P B (Son of Resident) published on 8 April 2024 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

Our family feel that this 'care' home isn't fit to look after anyone, never mind my relative. Every time we visit something is amiss, staff are ignorant and ignore requests you make. The building is dangerous. corridors are uneven, causing the risk of falls to be high. Staff are sparse and some are

rude. On one visit the main front door had a note on it stating the lock was broken. This should have been fixed immediately as it caused a massive fire risk to residents, and visitors getting stuck in corridors between rooms behind locked doors. On our last visit a note was on the door 'We have an influenza outbreak' you should wear PPE and a face mask, none were available. We collected our relative for a family meal and they had food over their clothes. Relative had a fellow peer's medication in the room. Residents appear to be placed in a room with other residents without a choice of if they want to sit there and no activities are seen during visits. Always loud music in the lounge restricting conversation during visits.

Reply from Angela Bona, Regional Manager at Hazeldene Care Home

Review from V H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

We did not have a good experience of this care home. Our loved one was left with food all over his hands and table and face from the day before, and was unshaven and not listened to. Some staff were caring, but others behaved as if every request was a burden to their shoulders. Some staff were passive

aggressive, leaving our loved one to feel as though they were being a nuisance just to ask to go to the toilet. This led to even worse consequences. It was awful to see the degradation in my family member. We have since moved to another care home with much better results. I would honestly say that Hazeldene were neglectful.

Reply from Angela Bona, Regional Manager at Hazeldene Care Home

Thank you for your review. We acknowledge your perspective and appreciate all feedback. It is essential that all concerns and misunderstandings regarding aspects of care at Hazeldene are addressed. Also emphasising that the claim of neglectful care is strongly contested. Every effort was made to address and resolve issues raised during the resident's stay. Any concerns raised were promptly handled and discussed with the family at that time. Upon discharge there were no outstanding concerns, or safeguarding issues noted during the process. The decision to move the resident to another care home was based on a nursing needs assessment, indicating that a nursing home was required. This decision was not driven by neglect but rather by an evaluation of the resident's care requirements. Unfortunately, there are instances when a person's needs change, and they may no longer be safely cared for in a residential setting. Please feel free to contact the home to discuss further.

Review from Tim H (Son of Resident) published on 13 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

The continued care and support of mother is exemplary. Is this the best care home in the world? Well no, but for the charges the facilities are more than adequate. Recently the cleaning staff decided Mum's curtains were not in the best state, so they got new and replaced them. There is maintenance in

the building that needs attention, but some larger items have been completed in the last year (extended car park). The extra comes from the staff, not just there to provide, they generally and genuinely care. I am genuinely happy with Hazeldene Care Home and have recommended it to others who can no longer cope at home.

Review from Julie B (Granddaughter of Resident) published on 9 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report

Overall Experience

My grandad has lived at Hazledean residential home for almost a year and has settled well due to the patience and kindness of the staff. He has been on a couple of trips out as well as singers etc to come into the nursing home. When I visit they always have time to update me on how my grandad has been.

They always seem to have plenty of staff on duty who are always helpful. His room is lovely and kept warm, he also has a TV in his room. Grandad hasn't always been someone who socialises and the staff allow for him to have time in his room too as the previous care home would not allow this. Thank you to all you guys for everything that you do for everyone which makes their lives and the families lives that much better.

Our family member has been a resident here for almost five years. Throughout that time, she has been really well cared for. Always clean, comfortable and well thought of, and her care by the staff has been of the highest standards. Her needs, both personal and medical, have been met on every occasion.

Any concerns or worries have always been listened to and addressed. The home is very clean and well run. The supervision is superb. Absolute confidence in them.

From the moment we entered I knew Mum would be well cared for and happy. I was made to feel welcome and the environment was both clean and inviting. I cannot praise the staff enough for the care and kindness shown to mum over the past 7 months. It is the most difficult decision I have had to make and

looking back was absolutely the right decision and the right choice of care home for Mum. I cannot fault anything, all staff are caring kind and considerate at all times right down to the cook and the laundry lady.
Simply put its the best!
Thank you.

Hazeldene Care Home is a very happy place. On arrival the staff are very helpful, nothing is too much trouble. I was a carer for my friend we have known each other for 40 years and a good friend of the family, who live away from Blackburn, so I visit twice a week. My friend is well looked after and

she's very happy. If my friend gets fretful they phone me so I can speak to her, Which is excellent. This has previously been good during Covid when we couldn't visit.

Overall Experience

My mother has been in Hazeldene Care Home for two and a half days, the care and kindness from the staff has been first class. She was discharged from hospital with very, very swollen legs and feet and as soon as I let the nurse at Hazeldene know he immediately arranged for the district nurse and doctor

to attend my mum. She has been given medication.
