It was easy to talk to management and the staff close to Joyce which was a great comfort.
This has been home to Joyce for 5 years and we have nothing but praise for the way situations like Covid, for example, were handled.

Beautiful room over looking rear garden. Staff very friendly and co-operative. They made mum's stay a happy way. However, food was not up to standard and it was felt they could have done more to bring it up to standard and appetising. since this we understand they didn't have enough staff or cook.

Thank you for your feedback. We are delighted to hear that your mother enjoyed her room and that our staff helped make her stay a happy one.We are sorry that you felt the food did not meet your expectations. We currently have a vacant Head Chef position; however, recruitment has been completed and a preferred candidate is progressing through the necessary checks. In the meantime, our experienced Second Chef, agency chef support, and trained kitchen team continue to provide meal services, with oversight from our Hospitality Team to ensure standards and residents' nutritional needs are maintained.
While we are confident that safe and appropriate catering arrangements remain in place, we acknowledge your concerns and apologise that the dining experience was not as positive as it should have been.
We are also sorry that you did not feel able to raise these concerns during your mother's stay, as we would have welcomed the opportunity to address them at the time. Thank you again for your feedback, which helps us to continually improve our service.

The care home was clean, calm, warm and welcoming. Our friend was in his room, happily installed and looking at home and comfortable in his surroundings. Every member of staff went out of their way to engage both us and our friend. I was so impressed by the breadth of activities and possibilities, and the warm open and reassuring manner that everyone we encountered had. It's such a comfort to know he has been cared about as well as well cared for.

my husband was welcomed with open arms. The Home had a really good feel about it and the staff were all really nice, helpful and enthusiastic. It seemed to be a vocation rather than a job. They interacted all the time with residences and encouraged my husband to engage in activities to the best of his ability. It was clean and the food was really good. He settled in very easily and I felt able to happily have some respite knowing he was taken care of.
My stay at Magna Care Centre was most enjoyable, restful and relaxing. No carers in the world.

Our neighbour was placed in Magna Care Home to be with his wife. He had been her carer, which had made him unwell. While there the compassionate care he had revitalised him. His wife passed away after 6 months, but with the good food, attention and activities, the remaining 18 months of his life were happy and contented. His final comments were 'I don't want to go to hospital, I'll die here'. He passed away at 96 years fully cared for.

My mother was taken to Magna Care Centre in a private ambulance all the way from Kent. They settled her in at 7pm in the evening after 3 very stressful weeks in hospital. All the staff worked together as a team and supported each other as well as the residents and their visitors. My mum was made very comfortable. She was very very ill and the carers and staff helped her to be comfortable and relaxed as far as possible and prepared me for her death which came after 7 short days. Without their understanding and information she would not have seen her grandchildren in those last days and that was worth a huge amount to our family. The home has a real buzz to it and I would recommend it to anyone.

Mum was adamant she did not want to go into respite care for a week while my sister and I took a break from caring for her. Magna Care Home has changed her prospective, and she would be happy to return. In fact, she came out on a high! From the moment she arrived until the moment she left, she had been cared for, encouraged to mix and join in activities. My sister and I were relieved when we went away knowing mum would receive regular meals, her medication, and she would be living in clean, lovely surroundings. I can't praise the home and staff enough.
When me and Karen arrived we was met my wonderful staff that made us feel very welcome and relaxed. I felt so happy that Karen was being looked after by such nice people, and confident that she will be looked after. Thankyou all very much.

With over 17 years at Magna, I lead a dedicated and compassionate team committed to delivering exceptional residential and nursing care. My background in intensive, elderly, and stroke care shapes the person?centred, dignified approach I bring to every aspect of our home.
Having progressed from Registered Nurse to Deputy Manager and now Home Manager, I have a deep understanding of our residents, their families, and the local community. I’m passionate about creating a warm, respectful environment where meaningful social connection enriches daily life. Making even one person’s day better is what motivates me.
Magna is a relaxed, home-from-home setting, and the welcoming atmosphere is a true reflection of the incredible team I’m proud to lead. Their kindness, commitment, and willingness to go the extra mile are at the heart of everything we do.
Outside work, I enjoy spending time with my large family and making memories together.
