‘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.”
