Overall Experience

From the receptionists to the manager, care staff and nurses and the activities supporter I cannot fault Magna Care Home. Placing any relative into care is an enormous decision . The Home is in lovely grounds and the staff are extremely helpful. Following a review of a care plan the home are supportive

and caring. Thankyou

Magna Care Centre
from Georgina B (Daughter of Resident) published on 29 January 2026 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

Magna Care Centre is a lovely spacious home with decent bedroom, with lots of activities. Mum entered Magna in Nov 2025 for a short time due to illness, but the staff were very caring and nothing was too much trouble for mum anytime of day or night ie food, drink or just help and chat. Due to last few

days and hours the staff were very helpful too all of the family who wanted to spend time with mum. We can't thank them enough.

Reply from Rowen Campbell, on behalf of the team at Magna Care CentreThank you for taking the time to share your experiences - we really appreciate it. It was an honour to care for your mum, even for a short time, and to get to know her, you, and your family. Please just let us know if there is ever anything more we can do to support you.

Overall Experience

Magna has a very welcoming atmosphere. All the staff are friendly and caring and they work hard to ensure that residents are well cared for. Whenever we visit to see dad there's always a cheery greeting and a friendly wave from the staff, and he is evidently well looked after. The food is great too!

Reply from Rhiannon Freeman-Gray, Divisional Marketing Manager at Magna Care CentreThanks very much for sharing this lovely review! It's a pleasure to have your dad with us at Magna, and we're so happy to hear you find the home a welcoming and friendly place, and that you enjoy the food.

from D B (Friend of Resident) published on 23 December 2025 Submitted via Postal Card • Report

Overall Experience

On our visits to the Magna Care Centre the visits are always fruitful in the actions of the staff and the demeaner of the residents. We have seen the variety of activities, and the enthusiasm all who participate, is a great specter to see. The work of the staff organising the activities, cannot be under

estimated, it is fantastic. The care towards the residents is shown by the 'extra mile' in providing benefits towards resident care. A joy to see!

Reply from Stuart Lamacraft, on behalf of the team at Magna Care CentreThank you for sharing your experience of visiting Magna Care Centre. It's lovely to hear how positively the atmosphere, activities and residents' engagement come across during your visits. Your recognition of the care and thought that goes into organising activities, and the genuine commitment shown by the team, will be greatly appreciated by everyone involved.

I have found Magna Care Centre to be outstanding. My sister was beautifully looked after and the family really well supported. The staff are friendly, helpful and welcoming. I said to a friend of mine, 5 stars are not enough, more like 10 needed! Thank you Magna - you helped me through such a difficult

time, will never forget your kindness.

Overall Experience

My friend was admitted to Magna Care Home 10+ days ago, and I have visited her in that period many times, even staying nights in the recliner chair (very comfortable).
On my first visit, I was immediately struck by the atmosphere, homely, welcoming, light and fresh, and this only grew when I met the

staff, each one, nursing, cleaning, kitchen, caring and office staff, ALL without exception, kind, helpful, thoughtful, fun - plus - professional! This is a special place.

My very dear friend of many years was admitted to Magna Care Centre yesterday. She is here for end-of-life care, suffering from terminal lung cancer. On first impression of the home, I am happy that it's very welcoming, with kind, compassionate staff in attendance. My friend has a lovely, comfortable

room with a garden view. I feel already that she will be looked after.

Initially, when joining my disabled wife, I spent my time with her in a room. When she passed away, I was encouraged to join others in the lounge and participate in the many activities, and organised visits to Magna. I have felt extremely happy, and with other residents have got to know everyone.

Overall Experience

As a keen volunteer I was keen to manage a stall at the summer Fair this August. I joined a resident, to sell raffle tickets for a humongous box of Alcohol that had been gifted by the volunteer hairdresser.
We sold £200 of tickets .
The staff kept an eye on us both and encouraged participants to enjoy

each stall.
It was a super successful day.

Reply from Nicole Howarth, on behalf of the team at Magna Care CentreMany thanks for your positive review and for your support at our summer fair. We're delighted you were able to join us and help run the raffle. It was lovely to see you teaming up with one of our residents.

After a major operation, I spent some weeks at Magna convalescing until I was well enough to return home. The medical and personal care I needed was excellent, ensuring my recovery progressed well, and my dietary needs were well met, with a very varied menu. All the staff go above and beyond to look

after all residents and I have no hesitation recommending Magna Care Centre.

Magna Care looked after my Mum beautifully during her last few days. They also looked after the family too, bringing us food and talking with us whenever we needed it. The home is very peaceful and calming and we wish we could have gotten her there sooner so she could enjoy it more. I would certainly

reccomend Magna Care.

My sister was admitted for palliative care so was only a resident for a few weeks. However the staff got to know her and had meaningful relationships with her. The care she received was very good, personal and delivered with care and understanding. We became a team, working together to ensure all her

needs were met and that her final days were peaceful and full of love, not just from her family but the staff as well. Thank you.
