Review from Emma P (Daughter of Resident) published on 9 January 2024 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

We are very happy with the care taken of our relative. She has been at Magna for almost two years. The staff are very caring and genuine. They welcome us each time we come to visit and actively engage with all of the residents. The makeover, whilst disruptive, has given a fresh lease of life to the home and it feels very much like a home from home. Thank you Magna staff.

Reply from Home Manager, at Magna

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review and for your recognition of the team at Magna for the care provided to your relative. It is lovely to hear that it feels like a home from home. Your feedback will be shared with the team.

Review from April D (Sister of Resident) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience

After several care homes, my sister ended up at Magna Care Centre where she did, unfortunately, pass away but the care that she received there far surpassed any of the other care homes she had been in and also their care and compassion to us - her family and friends were also outstanding. Very friendly and caring.

Reply from Home Manager, at Magna

Thank you for your kind words and recognition of the team at Magna. We are really sorry for your loss and we hope we made your sister’s final moments as peaceful as possible. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

Review from Adrian J (Son of Resident) published on 4 December 2023 Submitted via Postal Card
Overall Experience
My late father spent the last 16 months of his life at the Magna Care Centre and enjoyed great care, food and accommodation and a happy environment in what, for him, were difficult circumstances.
Staff provided excellent 24-hour nursing, personal care and kindness whilst the home coordinators and entertainment team applied much energy and great effort to involve him a wide range of recreational and seasonal activities.
We held a wake for him at the home. The staff support for this was exceptional and it was exactly the occasion and closure he and the family wanted. It was a fitting tribute to him.
Recent improvements give the opportunity to improve on what are very high standards.

I cannot recommend this care centre more highly.

Reply from Home Manager, at Magna

On behalf of the Magna team, we would like to thank you, for your positive feedback and extremely kind comments. Although your father was only with us for 16 months, we hope we made his stay with us comfortable and we thoroughly enjoyed having him as part of our community. It was our privilege to help you give him a wonderful send-off and the whole team pass on their condolences.

Although Mum's stay was brief, she was looked after to the highest standard. Her nurses and carers looked after her like a friend, and they always made you feel welcome and genuinely delighted to see Mum.

The level of care and thought for the entire family was exemplary.

Review from Janet H (Private Carer of Resident) published on 16 October 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
I have worked and been trained within the care industry for over 30 years in various fields and senior positions before becoming a private carer in 2012. Recently one of my clients became a resident at Magna Care Centre, where he received palliative care.
I found the manager and all of the staff to be welcoming, providing my client and his family with kindness and support. I found that the home provides person-centered care and offers choice and preference whilst preserving dignity. The staff take time to get to know their residents and work as a team, families are invited to be involved with activities that are designed for individual abilities and the food is wonderful. I visited the home daily for several weeks and felt very welcomed and included by all.
I would have no hesitation in highly recommending the Magna Care Centre to anyone in the future.

Many thanks to everyone.

On arrival, we were welcomed to a newly furnished and decorated ground floor room. I had doors out to a courtyard which made my stay extremely pleasant. The staff were very kind and attentive to all my needs. When I had visitors they were made comfortable and offered refreshments. I only hope that future respite could be here.

This is a terrific care facility. It is set in wonderful grounds in a quiet countryside location. The quality of care and friendliness of the staff is really first rate. They also provide a wide range of activities for the residents and the place has a real community feel.

My mother has been exceptionally well looked after for the last six weeks and we are grateful to all of the team.

Review from Corinne F (Daughter of Resident) published on 27 April 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience
Mum has recently been discharged from Magna Care Centre having spent nearly three months there.
At the time we really did not think Mum would survive having had such a bad experience in the hospital, she was not eating or drinking and really had lost the will to live. Thanks to all of the amazing staff, Mum improved dramatically and with the help of the staff's encouragement started to eat and drink again. Mum is now back in her own flat but I know she does miss the staff at Magna and that just shows the impact they had on her.

The room was bright and airy and always kept clean, it overlooked the gardens, so you would quite often see the squirrels in the garden, which would keep her entertained.

Reply from Home Manager, Home Manager at Magna

We are so pleased to read your wonderful comments about the care your Mum received, we would welcome her back for a cup of tea or to join in with our activities whenever she would like. The team were thrilled with your feedback as we strive for person-centred care for all our lovely residents.

Review from Liz J (Daughter of Resident) published on 7 March 2023 Submitted via Website
Overall Experience

My father chose to go into a care home in June 2022. He sadly died last night very peacefully. The care he received was second to none, and he spoke very fondly of the carers. What was so important to me, as a nurse myself, was to know and have faith that he would be cared for in the way I would have cared for him. The very reason I was able to go home at times and rest was because I was never in any doubt that he was safe and loved by the people he relied on. He was given kindness in abundance and treated with respect. I know that the staff were very fond of my dad. I will be forever grateful to each and every one of those kind souls who cared for my father. It is a beautiful home, and Dad was able to die peacefully there as he wished for. My brother and I were able to spend several hours with him on the day he died, and we were also cared for and felt very valued. Thank you all so much for caring.

Overall Experience

I really can't do justice to this care home in 200 words! To know that my dear aunt is being so well cared for by such wonderful staff, in such lovely surroundings, is such a weight off my mind. The fantastic activities and events have given her a new lease on life and new opportunities even at 93-shes never done painting or baking before! We live several hours away but our monthly visits to her are a delight, always a warm welcome and a happy convivial atmosphere. Nothing is too much trouble. We feel so lucky she has a place here. Thank you.

My mother went into the Magna Care Centre for respite care after a fall and was extremely happy to be able to become a resident. The rooms are large and bright, with lovely views of the gardens. The staff are so friendly and caring - not just to the residents but their relatives as well.

Mum loves the food, and the restaurant is decorated for any special occasion. She enjoys taking part in a variety of daily activities, including games, cooking, and visits from other organisations, which keep her busy and entertained.

Thank you for your positive feedback about Magna. We are thrilled to hear that your mother enjoyed her respite care so much that she became a permanent resident with us.

Kayleigh Frulli
Kayleigh FrulliJob Title:Home ManagerJoined: 2010

With over 16 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.

When I’m not wearing my manager’s hat, I’m a busy mum of three and can often be found out walking our little dog, Bob.
