Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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.

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.

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.

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.

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 1.0 out of 5
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.

Review from V H (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 November 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 1.0 out of 5
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.

Review from Tim H (Son of Resident) published on 13 April 2023 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
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 5.0 out of 5
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.

Since my dad has been in Hazeldene, he has settled in really well. All the staff are hard-working, friendly and efficient. His general health has improved with him gaining weight and the strength to walk. This is a testament to the good food he enjoys and the mental stimulation.

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.

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

Current Review Score: 8.4 (8.425)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 8.4 (8.425) out of 10 for Hazeldene Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.1 out of 5 from 9 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.3 out of 5 from 7 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 4.142 for Hazeldene Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (69 Excellents x 5) + (13 Goods x 4) + (7 Satisfactorys x 3) + (4 Poors x 2) + (13 Very Poors x 1) ) ÷ 106 Ratings = 4.142
  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 4.283 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hazeldene Care Home is based on 7 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 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 3.7
    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 60 registered maximum number of service users is 12. 7 Positive Reviews ÷ 12 = 0.583
  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.
