We had the very difficult decision to put my auntie in the care home last July. There was a few hiccups as my auntie ended up in hospital before she had the opportunity to visit the home but the staff where incredible and liaised with the hospital in London to have her transported up here to Bishops
Stortford. All staff showed her compassion and a genuine care to her needs at arrival and every day since.
The home have a schedule of activities to keep the residents occupied and engaged through the week and our family has really enjoyed the celebrations, inviting families in to share with their loved ones.

Hazel End is a lovely welcoming care home. My mum has been a resident here since March this year and as a family we are really pleased with the care given to her by the care team. The staff encourage us to visit and use the facilities as if we were visiting mum in her own home. The tables are always
set beautifully at meal times with a menu and good choice and variety of food and the home is kept immaculately clean. Mum is seen by the Doctor, District Nurse and Community Physio as required and the Senior Care Team report back with regular updates.

It was Mum's decision to go into a care home and she chose Hazel End. She became a resident in October 2022 and although at first found it difficult to settle, thankfully with the kind support and care of all of the staff Mum is now very content and happy. There was a period when the catering was poor
but since the arrival of the new chef the food is now of a good standard. The activities are varied and due to the commitment of the staff at an excellent standard. Mum is encouraged to take part despite her extremely limited sight.

Outstanding care from every member of the staff including those not directly involved in dad’s care (housekeeping, reception, kitchen etc). Carers are very well aware of dads needs and understanding of his Alzheimer’s. They encourage him and support him in every possible way. As soon as we visit, we
get an update on how he is doing, from every member of the staff we meet on the way to visit him. We could not recommend Hazel End Care Home highly enough. A very happy and supportive home.

On each arrival to the home, the staff have been very kind and pleasant. The home is very clean and welcoming. The staff have always offered me a cup of tea and it never seems to be a chore for them. There has been a couple of occasions when there's nobody at the desk and I've been left standing in
the foyer for some time until somebody comes and opens the door. On visiting my mum's room in the morning a couple of times her room wasn't made up, and the commode hadn't been emptied. The staff have responded well and quickly to my mum's medical emergencies and have kept my brother and I fully informed of her situation. Overall, the home is excellent, clean, tidy with no rubbish and each floor is unique having different rooms for different things, sun room/tea room/cinema etc.

My mum moved to Hazel End Care Home in mid December, it has taken a little while for her to adjust to a different way of living but she is now settled and happy. The staff are very approachable and compassionate. If you have a question to ask it is always answered honestly and in a professional manner.
I am content in the knowledge that my mum is well looked after and safe. Also if my mum became unwell I know that a member of staff would contact me immediately.

My mother-in-law has been a resident since December 2022 and I cannot fault the care she has been given from day one. The ambiance is warm and welcoming, the private rooms are well set out and decorated, the communal areas are spacious and beautifully furnished, the food is excellent, the activities
are brilliant but most important of all, the staff are all friendly, patient, caring and kind. I cannot recommend this home highly enough. It is quite expensive but you get what you pay for!

My Father came to Hazel End Care Home in April this year with mild needs due to a couple of falls, he was placed on the top floor requiring help to remind him to change his clothes etc and to monitor any falls.
Unfortunately due to a rare dementia diagnosis, his needs progressed really fast. Hazel
End have worked really hard changing plans to accommodate his needs on an almost daily/weekly basis, nothing has been too much trouble and they are always trying to find ways to keep him comfortable and out of harm. I would say they have always gone over and above to meet his needs.
Just this weekend they changed practices again to protect him, my daughter who works in a specialist neurological hospital said "that is really going over and above" "I am really impressed".
The day and night staff in the home are really caring and attentive to the needs of the residents, they are friendly and always smiling constantly supporting and reassuring residents and relatives.
Excellent Care Home!

Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I have a comfortable room and well looked after most staff are pleasant and helpful (but some are a little forgetful!).
There have been problems with food, it is not always served on hot plates.
Sometimes what is served does not correspond with the four-week menu or even the daily menu. Deserts often
have too high a calorie count. The call button in my room frequently fails and the installers have not yet been able to resolve the problem.
My overall impression of the home is good and I am certainly not unhappy.
Reply from Hayley Smith, Home Manager at Hazel End Care Home

Thank you so much for taking the time to feedback on the care you receive at Hazel End and I am so pleased to hear that you are happy with the service you receive overall.
With regards to the menu, as we have discussed, we will be having a food forum next week to discuss the menu going forward and how to further develop the dining experience which I know you are so keen to be a part of. We have recently hired new catering staff and I am excited with their ideas and hope you will be too.
In response to the call bell, I can only apologise and it is a very strange situation as even the engineers cannot find the fault with the setting in your room and this has had to be taken back to the manufacturers for further investigation. I do hope the doorbell we have given you as a temporary solution is working well?
As always please do continue to let me know of any concerns and we will address them and again thank you for your feedback.

Sadly my lovely mum was bedbound recently due to illness and for a while couldn’t take part in the central activities, so the care team brought the activities to mum. They also arranged for mum to be able to sit upright in her comfy chair which is lovely. Mum has had manicures with her friend in her
room, facials, her hair blow-dried, little beaver visits and chocolate Easter eggs delivered to her room. In addition, on mum's birthday, her room was decorated and the whole team came to her room to celebrate with her. In addition to the above, the team also set up face time for me so I can chat with mum at any time during the day, which I really appreciate and sometimes they join in our conversation which is also lovely.

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.751)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.751) out of 10 for Hazel End Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 19 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 19 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 4.751 for Hazel End Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (173 Excellents x 5) + (48 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 225 Ratings = 4.751
  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 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Hazel End Care Home is based on 19 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 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    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 66 registered maximum number of service users is 13.2, which has been reached with 19 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  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.

Claire Sparks

Job Title: Care Manager Joined: 2019

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.

Kerry Jeffrey

Job Title: Team Leader Joined: 2021

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.
