Hazeldean Nursing Home is a 40 bed high level residential care facility, including four single rooms and nine shared rooms with ensuites each with four beds.
Hazeldean has 24-hour nursing cover, and local General Practitioners provide medical care to residents. Local pharmacies in Williamstown ensure services 24 hours a day.
The close proximity of The Williamstown Hospital means that some hospital services are provided at Hazeldean, including social work.
Hazeldean also has a visiting podiatrist and physiotherapist, as well as a comprehensive activities program providing lifestyle and leisure activities. Residents are mainly local Williamstown and district people and are encouraged to remain active within their community. Christian religious services are held at Hazeldean fortnightly.
Hazeldean welcomes visitation of residents by volunteer groups offering pet therapy. Presently, Marmalade is the facility cat, having adopted the facility in 2001.
The nursing home has a core group of volunteers who provide musical entertainment, assist with bingo and provide company for outings. The facility has access to the residential aged care bus for regular outings organised by the Activity Coordinator.
