The staff are lovely very friendly caring and helpful. However there are things that could be improved sometimes in the lounge in the mornings there isn't much going on. One resident actually said to me "I'd just as well go back to my room, there's nothing much going on here". Also the dining room is used to mainly be tables for 4 now its mainly tables of 2, why? How are residents going to get to know each other better if there only 2 on a table.The guttering needs cleaning out, its building in places.
We are very pleased to hear that you find the staff to be lovely, caring, friendly and helpful. They hold themselves to a very high standard, and your words will be greatly appreciated by them...
Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback about Magna. Your feedback is very valuable to us.We are very pleased to hear that you find the staff to be lovely, caring, friendly and helpful. They hold themselves to a very high standard, and your words will be greatly appreciated by them as they continue their hard work.
We are, however, sorry to read of your concerns regarding the activities on offer, the dining room placement and the guttering.
Please be advised that a member of the wellbeing team is available in the main lounge, Monday through Saturday, from 8:00 am to 9:00 am, with organised activities running throughout the day until 4:00 pm.
On Sundays, residents have expressed a preference to watch the live-streamed church service, which is supported by the care team. Following this, quieter activities are made available for residents to access independently at their leisure.
We are also pleased to share that Magna has recently been nominated for an award recognising our wellbeing services, which I do hope provides you with some reassurance.
With regard to dining room arrangements, we can confirm that the room is set with tables of four, and all residents are encouraged and supported to attend mealtimes within the dining room and to engage socially at the tables.
Please be advised that the guttering remains part of an ongoing maintenance review. The majority of areas have now been completed, and the remaining sections continue to be addressed.
We do hope that we have been able to provide you with reassurance; however, should you wish to discuss this further, please do reach out to the Home Manager, who would be happy to arrange for this.

My husband and I found Magna Care Home five years ago for our friend. He was disabled and wheelchair bound, and it was our last choice in the area that would be suitable for us to visit without travelling too far. He had been turned down by other homes and we thought it would be the same response from Magna. It was the very best we could have hoped for and he was welcoming with open arms by the staff. He was respected at all times, and I could not be happier to say the best decision we have made on his behalf.
Thank you to everyone from the chefs for good healthy tasty food. Cleaners for keeping the rooms and communal areas spic and span and all the nurses...

I don't even know where to start, but from the moment we stepped into the magna for a look around, it felt like home. It was warm and cosy and had a real family feel to it. All the staff were happy and smiley and would say hello. We knew instantly this was the right place for my nanny to come after viewing multiple other homes. The rooms were spacious, clean and tidy and decorated perfectly. There is a lovely lounge area to sit in and they were so welcoming to family and friends that visited. We were able to stay for meals and the staff were so inclusive with family. Although nanny wasn't there long, she was extremely well cared for and looked after. The staff at magna all hold a special place in our hearts for the love and care they not only showed nanny, but all the family as well. I highly recommend the Magna to anyone looking for somewhere to send a loved one.

Magna Care centre deserves more than 5 stars! Towards the end of a year of caring for our Dad through the final stages of terminal cancer, coping with all the treatments, the hospital and Hospice visits and stays, culminating in having carers to his home three times a day, Dad had endured enough and we were thankfully guided by the Palliative Care Team to find his final home in every sense of the word. Magna Care Centre is nestled in beautiful grounds at Canford Magna and is a true breath of fresh air! What an oasis of calm, tranquility and perfection it is! Immediately upon speaking with the lovely Stella on the phone, to entering the welcoming doors of the Spanish Hacienda style entrance, my brother and I knew we had "found the one". We cannot commend the home more highly to anyone who needs help facing the difficult decision of placing the care and responsibility of their nearest and dearest at a time when you are overwhelmed and sad to your core. Stella gave us a tour of the bright,

It was a very simple selection process for our family as Dad was also at Magna Care before passing away in May 2025.
With Mum's care as it was with Dad's care was provided to the highest levels not only with all care needs met but, with compassion and understanding towards individual needs.
The entire Team at Magna deliver above and beyond expectations.
Not only is the location of Magna Care outstanding the facilites are quite exceptional, providing a calm relaxing safe freindly and happy environment.
As a family we could not speak more highly of Magna Care's excellence and the peace of mind provided knowing Mum was recieving exceptional support each and everyday.
Thank you to all at Magna Care.
I feel confident leaving my mother-in-law in the care if these people.

Always made very welcome. Nothing is too much trouble. Great diary of activities, always planned, and a timetable issued. Facilities are always available, and take time to maintain the residents' belongings and room tidiness.

After all the stresses of my father's illness we eventually found the Magna Care Centre which was a breath of fresh air and, in all truthfulness, a relief to have the chance to settle Dad into a safe, comfortable and caring environment. Dad was afforded a good sized room with great facilities and...

My Mother has been staying at Magna Care Centre since December 2025. Mum is now very settled at the care home . The nurses, carers and all of the staff are always friendly and helpful and all of Mum's needs are met with professionalism, compassion and smiles. The food is excellent and enjoyed by all! The daily activities are always varied, creative and full of fun! Housekeeping and maintenance keep the home very clean and tidy and are always there to support all of the residents. Mum is looking forward to sitting outside in the Spring in their pretty courtyard garden full of flowers and plants to enjoy in the sunshine. The home arranges lots of interesting events that often includes the local community so everyone can get involved and enjoy being together. Magna really is a special home from home and Mum has made some really special friends and this is a joy to see. The property is spacious and bright and sits within manicured lawns with terraces and woodlands to relax and enjoy.

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.
Thank 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.
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!

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.
