About Hazel Villa
Hazel Villa is a residential care home in Colchester, supporting older people and younger adults, including residents living with dementia and residents managing mental health conditions. We are a small home and we like it that way, because the sort of care we want to give depends on knowing people properly. Staff here recognise the small signals that tell them someone is unsettled, and they know what each resident likes, dislikes and worries about without having to look it up. The day runs comfortably rather than to a timetable. People get up when they are ready, eat food cooked here that is worth looking forward to, and spend their time in company or quietly as they prefer. Support with washing and dressing is given calmly and with dignity. For residents living with dementia, we keep routines familiar and take real trouble to learn a person's earlier life, because that knowledge is usually what allows us to settle someone who is anxious and makes ordinary conversation better too. Relatives are welcome throughout the day and we would much rather hear a concern from you early than discover it late. We also offer respite stays for shorter periods. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good.
