At its best, a residential care home is “home away from home”. In the words of C C (Sister of Resident), My sister joined Hazelmere in March of this year and has since thrived both physically and mentally. The staff are extremely attentive to her needs and have made her feel as if she is part of the family. My sister is quote ‘truly happy and feels finally at peace’ We really can’t fault the care and dedication that all the staff give..”
With 28 bedrooms, most with en-suites and four with access to enhanced accessibility bathrooms, Hampshire’s Hazelmere has long enjoyed an excellent local reputation for outstanding nursing, respite and palliative care.
Whilst the building itself exudes period charm, the facilities within are up to date with modern, progressive senior care. A sophisticated 24-hour nurse call system means help is at hand the moment it’s needed.
Intelligent lighting, décor and furnishing help minimise disorientation. Bathrooms are well equipped with an array of safety and accessibility aids. And thoughtful features like low-touch temperature radiators promote safety and enhance peace of mind.
For many, the idea of moving into residential care is fraught with fears of losing their independence. With years of experience, the team at Hazelmere prioritise residents’ autonomy, continually encouraging them to continue with as many daily activities and “normal life” as possible.
This is a prerequisite for ongoing emotional and psychological wellbeing and is a foundation of all respite and long-term residential care at Hazelmere.
Mealtimes play an important role in quality residential care. Served in the bright and airy dining room with delightful garden views, breakfast, lunch and dinner provide regular social interaction and underpin the welcoming sense of community at Hazelmere.
As local Hampshire produce and ingredients are sourced in season, menus change on a daily basis, offering variety and plenty to please every palate. Naturally, all dietary requirements, allergies and intolerances are diligently observed at all times.
From a companionable cuppa in the lounge to stimulating arts, crafts and gentle exercise; from resting in a sunny spot in the courtyard to strolling in the landscaped gardens… residential care at Hazelmere is all about cherished moments and memories.
Visiting family, friends and loved ones are also welcomed to lift the spirits and brighten the day. And regular local trips in the home’s own minibus enable residents to enjoy the beautiful surrounding Romsey countryside, towns and coastline.
