Each & every member of staff have been absolutely amazing, nothing is too much trouble for them, Mum's care has been exceptional, and she has enjoyed her stay here at Hazel End, so much so, that she has even said "If ever the times comes when I can't manage myself at home, I would be happy to live here". I, as her daughter, never thought I would hear her say that!
As a family, we can't rate Hazel End enough, they welcomed us into their family, and each and everyday that mum has been there we have not had to worry about a thing.
A massive thank you to all the management & staff at Hazel End.
This is the second time I've been in respite care at Hazel End, and my time here after a period in hospital has helped my recovery.

My husband, Jeff, spent the last eighteen months of his life at Hazel End. He had dementia and at times staff had to literally run around after him. They were always patient and kind and seemed to see the person behind the illness. I never had any concerns about the care Jeff received and at the end his palliative care was simply excellent.

My mother has been a resident at Hazel End for nearly 3 years. The home not only more than meets our needs, but the staff always manage to be able to go the extra mile. In our dealings with the management, any issues that we have raised have been resolved to the best of their ability instantly, which I must state is no mean feat with the number of residents and staff whom at some time must need issues resolved. I feel I made an excellent choice choosing Hazel End. Alan.
I cannot fault the staff and management. I feel safe here, they go out of their way to help you in every way they can. Nothing is too much for them to help you in any way that they can. The house keeping team I cannot fault. I would recommend Hazel End Care Home to anyone thinking of coming into...

There have been quite a few changes in caring and other staff, but seem to have gone through smoothly without affecting residents. Continuity of staff and routines is of paramount importance to residents suffering from Dementia/Alzheimer's conditions, and this has been handled by management and care staff most admirably. Thank you
Thank you for taking the time to review Hazel End and we are pleased that you rate our care/ support as excellent. We appreciate your kind comments, which I will pass on to my team. We aim to support our residents with colleagues they are familiar with to ensure familiarity and peace of mind.
After these initial few weeks, Mum seems to have settled into a happy, safe place. She's making friends and interacting well with staff all of whom have been welcoming and helpful. It's lovely to see Mum smile again.

The home has stimulated my dad and kept him going for the last couple of years but it's the little things that have stopped me give excellent all round. I've had to remind cares on more than one occasion to do things that I don't find acceptable.

Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback on Hazel End care home and we are pleased that you rate our staff as excellent. We appreciated meeting with you in person to review your dad's care plan and it is our pleasure that he lives in our home. My door is always open to discuss all aspects of care and day-to-day life at our home.

The medical care and support are very good and any NHS service is arranged quickly whenever needed.
For me, one of the best facilities is the lifestyle ladies, who offer residents daily activities to keep them active and entertained.
I love reading the daily social posts which provide comfort whenever I spot my mother taking part. The lifestyle team celebrates any special day, holiday, or birthday so something is happening every day.
The food is mostly very good.
Both mum and I find the staff very helpful, friendly and supportive.

My mum moved to Hazel End a few months ago. All the staff have been amazing, friendly, welcoming, reassuring, helpful, and understanding. Care staff are always willing to discuss my concerns and answer any questions I might have about Mum. Any issues have been sorted out quickly. The care home is lovely and modern. More like a hotel and less like the care homes of old. Mum is still 'settling in' so things are difficult at times but I know I made the right decision and that Mum is being well looked after. Thank you to all (including 'behind the scenes staff' that I never see).
Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We are delighted to hear that you think so highly of our team and our home. We are very glad that you chose us to care for Mum, we are enjoying getting to know her and spending time with her.

Hazel End is a real home from home, I often describe it as a little hotel which is always warm and cosy. The staff are very friendly and welcoming, and they go the extra mile to organise daily activities to keep the residents occupied and entertained. The staff are fond of Mum and she couldn't be anywhere better in my view.
It was a joy to read your review, thank you so much for your kind words. We are all very fond of Mum and love having her living here with us.

As a family we have been most impressed by Hazel End’s care for our mother. Carers assess her needs on a daily basis and treat her as an individual and allow her to be herself. The care has been professional and kind and our mother regards Hazel End as her home, largely due to the family atmosphere fostered by carers. The senior carers are exemplary in their understanding of her needs and their willingness to meet them.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review our home, we appreciate your kind words.
Well - a very pleasant surprise. The home has only been open a few years. Lovely and modern - pet guinea pig in the foyer. Treated it to its lunch - great! Staff very friendly. Thought the place perfect. One staff member in particular was very attentive. Could not wish for more to be honest.

Thank you so much for your kind words, the guinea pigs like to greet our guests as they arrive, especially if it means they'll get their lunch. I am delighted to hear how happy you are with Hazel End, I will pass your comments on to my team.
I would recommend Hazel End Care Home to friends and family. It's very comfortable.

Thank you for your lovely review of Hazel End. We are very pleased that you are comfortable and enjoy living with us.
From first entering the home I was greeted with warmth and a smile. All the staff were so friendly and my friend is the happiest she has been for a long time, even saying she wished she had made the move sooner.

My Name is Claire Sparks and I am the Home Manager at Hazel End Care Home,
I have worked in care for 9 years starting off in the community and then coming to Hazel End just before we opened our doors.
Prior to working in care, I worked in the hospital as a domestic and one lady thanked me for supporting her and she sadly passed away. This really made me rethink and I was proud of myself for supporting her and had a sense of fulfilment for how grateful she was.
I started working at Hazel End as a Senior Carer, I progressed to Deputy Manager then Care Manager and now Home Manager. I have learnt so much working at Hazel End Care Home and progressed within the home. I'm proud to support our residents and make each day enjoyable living with us.

My name is Kerry Jeffrey and I am a Team Leader at Hazel End Care Home.
I started working in the care sector 15 years ago after seeing the support my dad had from the nursing team before he passed away. I felt I wanted to give something back to the community and joined a local care team working in the community as a senior carer and then as an area lead. I then moved onto the local hospital working on the wards as an assistant but wanted to get back to the care side of things, so went back out into the community with a hospital at home team until Covid struck. I then applied to work at Hazel End Care Home as a senior carer. This was my first time in a care home, and I loved the close-knit teamwork that you get compared to being out on your own.
I have now been at Hazel End for 4 years and in that time, I have worked my way up to Deputy Manager. When taken over by Anchor I took on the role of Team Leader so I was able to support staff daily on the floor. I like the position I am in as it gives me the opportunity to be a role model for new starters.
