‘ENJOY A NEW HOME FOR THE NEW YEAR’ AT HESWALL CARE HOME A care home in Heswall is inviting anyone who is contemplating moving into a care home this new year to come and find out all the benefits the move can bring to their lives. The Hazelwell, a residential, nursing, palliative and respite care home on Oldfield Road, says that finding the right care home for yourself or a loved one is a big decision but once the correct one has been found it should feel like a happy home-from-home. The New Year is usually a popular time for people to start seeking out a care home and The Hazelwell care home manager Sue Ball said: “Firstly people often put these things off until Christmas is over, it’s a new-year-new-home thing. “Secondly, in the winter months often people find they get more poorly with winter bugs and a slow recovery might be the trigger that makes them think that they could do with living somewhere with a little bit more round the clock help on hand.” Whatever the reason for the move, Sue says that the move into a care home should not feel like a total upheaval if it is into the right home. “Here at The Hazelwell we aim to go above and beyond to make all residents feel as comfortable as possible,” she added. “But especially our new residents. It’s important that they have their much-loved home comforts and own routines.” The Hazelwell itself is well equipped to look after the needs of any resident with 55 tastefully decorated en-suite rooms, spacious communal lounges, private secure gardens, and stunning rooftop terrace on which to socialise, home cinema room and library. Personal grooming is well catered for at The Hazelwell with on-site rooftop salon as well as a mini-bus and chauffeur- driven car to ferry residents into town. The Hazelwell activities co-ordinator Sandra Clarke crafts a full and well-rounded programme tailored to the residents’ interests and health needs, as well as the season. Dancing, gardening, summer fairs, arts, crafts and social events are all catered for at the home. With the on-site head chef and his team providing high- quality food which can be tailored to residents’ own nutritional needs, The Hazelwell really does take care of every aspect of each individual's personal wishes. Sue added: “We run The Hazelwell as a real home-from-home and we care deeply for all our residents. Often our residents tell us they are so happy to feel safe and cared for, and enjoy being part of our family. Nothing could make us feel happier than hearing that.” For more information call Sue on 0151 342 9654, email [email protected] or visit www.thehazelwell.com. wirrallife.com 19
