The treatment my husband received was second to none. Myself was also welcomed at any time with a cup of tea and asked to stay for a meal along with my daughter on arrival. Many many thanks to the staff and manager.

Review from Linda B (Daughter of Resident) published on 10 November 2015 Submitted via Postal Card • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
My mother moved into Magnolia House in February this year, when she moved in she was very frail after suffering numerous falls and a hip replacement that deemed her never to walk again. After she moved in the staff were very understanding and caring trying to get her to mix with other residents but
she remains in her room as this is what she wants. I am pleased that over the past months my mother is eating well and looks healthier plus has gained weight from her 5 stone weigh in. Overall I am very pleased with the care given.

Review from Ros J (Sister of Resident) published on 3 November 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
This is a very welcoming home where I feel my sister is very safe, well cared for and has her needs very well met by the carers as well as by the excellent range of activities on offer. It is also very good that she can have escorted visits out to enable her to remain active and retain a sense of independence.
I have absolute confidence that she is in a secure and stimulating environment. I could not wish her in a better place.

Review from Kathryn P (Daughter of Resident) published on 13 October 2015 Submitted via Website • Report
Overall Experience 4.0 out of 5
I think it was Tuesday 29 September when I came to visit Mum. I arrived at tea time and was told she was in the large dining room so I went to join her while she ate her tea. She thoroughly enjoyed everything that was put in front of her as did the lady that was sitting with her at the same table.
The tables were set nicely and the staff were making every effort to ensure everyone was eating and getting what they wanted.


I then took her back to her room where we had a bit of a chat and I did her hair for her before leaving.


Really, this email is just to let you know that I was so pleasantly surprised by the attitude and caring nature of all the staff that day. There seems to have been a real change in the atmosphere at Magnolia since you took over and I think that needs recognising. Every member of staff that saw mum spoke to her and knew her name and was kind and polite. It really was a pleasure to be there that day. Mum seems a lot happier and more settled too.


Things have definitely changed for the better at Magnolia and I just wanted to thank you and all your staff and well done to you!

As a family we are very happy with the care my Grandmother in law receives. She herself settled very quickly all thanks to the staff support. Any concerns are addressed quickly and sympathetically and we also notice that the staff seem happy in their work which is nice.

There's nothing like your home, but Magnolia House had a very good feel on my first visit. Staff very friendly, made you feel very welcome. Mum has been their 4 months, has settled in very well. I think it has a very homely feel you can visit at any time throughout the day.
If you have any problems,
management are always their to listen, problems are addressed as quickly as possible.
My son, daughter in law and myself have recommended Magnolia House too a couple of people, they were also happy on there first visit. There loved ones have also taken up residence in Magnolia.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.898)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.898) out of 10 for Magnolia House is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 26 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.898 for Magnolia House is calculated as follows: ( (277 Excellents x 5) + (23 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 304 Ratings = 4.898
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magnolia House is based on 26 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 96 registered maximum number of service users is 19.2, which has been reached with 26 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Lindsay

Lindsay Altoft

Job Title: Manager

Lindsay is one of life’s all-rounders! She began life with Park Lane Healthcare working in the accounts department, handling all the residents’ families’ queries, fee payments, bills we had to pay and a myriad of other things too. She even used to organise all our special award days that our top performing staff receive for their efforts, many of which go way beyond the call of duty. If all of this was not enough, in her own time she studied at Lincoln University and gained a degree in social work, such was her calling for looking after the elderly and vulnerable in society. All of this led to her joining our regional team, ensuring our homes were compliant in all aspects of care delivery and it seemed the most natural thing in the world to place her as manager at Magnolia House when the position became vacant. Although a large home and with its large challenges, Lindsay works tremendously hard at all times to ensure that every resident feels that little bit special.
