Hazelbrook Christian Nursing Home

This Horwich town centre care home provides nursing and social care for up to 38 people, with 25 residents at the time of inspection. The service is conveniently located near shops and local amenities with good access by car, public transport and motorway networks.

The home demonstrated strong practice in maintaining residents' social contact through various methods including video calls, letter writing, outdoor visits and window meetings with intercom communication. Staff conducted thorough risk assessments for vulnerable groups and implemented appropriate safeguards. When some residents experienced appetite loss and weight concerns, the service responded proactively by organizing taster sessions and world food theme days, which successfully improved appetites and stabilized residents' weights.
