Is this home safe?
Is the care effective?
The Effective domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This domain covers care planning, training, healthcare access, nutrition, and how well the home acts on information about each person's needs. Dementia is listed as a specialism, which means inspectors would have considered whether staff training and care approaches reflect the specific needs of people living with dementia. The published text does not include specific detail about training content, care plan quality, or food provision.Is this home caring?
The Caring domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This domain covers staff warmth, dignity, respect, and whether people feel genuinely cared for as individuals. A Good rating here indicates that inspectors did not observe poor practice and found the overall culture of care to be acceptable. However, the published inspection text contains no direct quotes from residents or relatives, and no specific inspector observations of staff interactions, such as how staff addressed residents or responded to distress.Is the home responsive?
The Responsive domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This domain covers whether care is tailored to individual needs and preferences, whether activities are meaningful and varied, and how the home handles complaints. The published inspection text does not record specific detail about the activities programme, what provision exists for people who cannot join group sessions, or how individual preferences are captured and acted upon.Is the home well-led?
The Well-led domain was rated Good at the October 2023 inspection. This domain covers the quality of management, governance systems, staff culture, and whether the home learns and improves over time. The nominated individual is listed as Mr Rahim Hudda. The published inspection text does not include specific detail about the manager's tenure, their visibility within the home, or how staff describe the culture under their leadership.

The DCC Verdict
Our editorial view, built from the three lenses: what families tell us, what inspectors record, and how the home sits against good dementia-care practice.
DCC Family Score
Hazelgrove Nursing Home was rated Good across all five inspection domains in October 2023, which is a solid baseline. However, the published inspection text contains very limited specific detail, so most scores sit in the mid-range reflecting positive findings without the observations, testimony, or examples that would push them higher.
Homes in South East typically score 68–82.Worth a visit
Hazelgrove Nursing Home, on Heath Hill Avenue in Brighton, was rated Good across all five inspection domains at its assessment in October 2023. The home is registered to provide nursing and personal care for up to 38 people, including those living with dementia and adults both over and under 65. A Good rating across every domain is a positive starting point and indicates that inspectors found no significant concerns about safety, staffing, care quality, management, or responsiveness at the time of the visit. The main uncertainty here is that the published inspection report contains very limited specific detail. There are no recorded inspector observations of staff interactions, no direct quotes from residents or relatives, and no specific examples of care practice. This means the Good ratings confirm an acceptable baseline but cannot tell you much about day-to-day life inside the home. Before making a decision, visit in person, ideally unannounced or at a mealtime, and use the checklist questions below to gather the specific information the inspection report does not provide.
