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.

My father enjoys visiting Mum each day. All the staff are friendly and genuinely seem to enjoy working at the home. Everyone knows my Dad's name and makes him and our family very welcome. The lounge is bright and well appointed with beautiful gardens and an excellent coffee machine which is free to use. This helps create a homely environment which makes visiting Mum such a pleasure.

Magna is a special place. My darling mum passed away on 12th April 2025. Mum had been a resident for 5 years so we have a wonderful understanding of what Magna is like. It's home from home environment made mum feel happy and secure. She was cared for with respect and love. Nothing is too much for the staff, they are genuine and superb at what they do. She would always say to me "don't make me leave here, I love it" She was entertained daily, ate very well and enjoyed trips. As a family we could not have asked for a better place for her last 5 years. We will be forever grateful Magna. Thank you x

I didn't get down to see mum in law as often as I would have liked-it was complicated, but when I did get down always found her happy, clean and laughing/chatting with the staff. She always looked healthy and well cared for. She sometimes had an issue with the food, BUT she always did have, even when she cooked it. A lovely home., very clean and tidy, never an aroma which sometimes you do get (which i understand) the staff are amazing and very good with the residents. Activities were fantastic. Not a bad word to say, thank you.
Many thanks for your lovely comments about our home, activities and all the team, who are dedicated to ensuring every resident feels safe, happy, and well looked after, and it's great to hear that this has been your experience.

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.
