About Hazeldene Care Home

Hazeldene is a residential care home in Blackburn supporting older people, including many who are living with dementia, alongside respite guests who stay with us for shorter periods. We try to run the home the way a household runs. People get up in their own time, choose where they sit and what they do, and keep the routines they have had for years wherever we possibly can. Staff spend time learning those routines, because a person who has taken sugar in their tea and read the paper at the same hour for fifty years should not have to give that up on arriving here. Dementia care is a large part of what we do and we approach it patiently. We follow the person rather than correcting them, we keep surroundings calm and familiar, and we notice what settles someone when they are anxious. Families often know these things better than anyone, so we ask and we listen rather than assuming we will work it out ourselves. Respite stays are welcome. They give family carers a proper break and they give the person staying warmth, company and good food for a while. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission was good. If you are looking at care homes around Blackburn, come and visit. Turn up, have a cup of tea, talk to the people who live here and see whether it feels right for your relative.
