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.
Thank you for your review and positive comments regarding Magna and our team, who work hard to maintain high standards of quality care for all those living in our community. Although your client was only with us for a short time, we hope we made their stay with us comfortable. Your feedback will be passed on to the team.
The home had a lovely welcoming friendly feel, all the staff were brilliant. I felt my husband was safe and well cared for and staff went out of their way to make him feel at home.

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.

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.
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.
Couldn't have asked for more.

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.
We are truly sorry to hear about the loss of your father, but we are grateful for the time he spent with us at Magna.

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 father has got his smile back being looked after at Magna Care Centre. He's a quiet man but the good old banter has returned. All the staff go out of their way to help the residents and visitors, I am so grateful.

The care Mum receives is always of a high standard. The nurses and carers, although busy, never appear to rush her and spend time talking to her and encouraging her to engage with them.
They also always have time to answer my questions and I have never felt as though I am being fobbed off.
There are quite a few staff who have worked at Magna since Mum arrived and I think this says something about the place when often care homes have such a high turnover of staff.
It takes a huge weight off my mind knowing I can be confident that Mum is in safe and kind hands
I have given them 4*, as I don't think things are quite perfect, but they are definitely very good.

The staff in Magna Care Centre home have been amazing. My cousin has had the best six months of being a resident there. From being a shy quiet lady, hardly communicating, she is now so proud of herself, with the help of all the carers she is loving life. Having her hair cut, nails painted, being taken to get a new budgie. It makes me so happy to see such a change in her. It's all down to the patience and kindness of the staff.

My mum spent the last five months of her life at Magna. The staff are amazing; they looked after Mum so well. She got involved in the many activities that the home did throughout the weeks. Her spirits were lifted when she attended. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff or nurses. Highly recommended, and thank you for making Mum's life pleasant during her last few months.
Thank you Dean for your kind words and recognition of the team at Magna, it is heart-warming to hear that we lifted her spirits. We are really sorry for your loss and we hope we made your mum’s last five months as peaceful as possible. Your comments will be passed on to the team.
I've been visiting my friend regularly and have always found all the staff friendly and helpful. My friend is well looked after and she enjoys participating in many of the activities on offer.

I spent a fortnight in respite at Magna, 14th - 28th April 2022. This was occasioned by my wife's need for a break from her 24/7 pressures in response to my disability resulting from three strokes and a fractured hip. I could not have received more sympathetic treatment from the staff at large. From our initial enquiry and visit our experience was extremely good for which we thank and commend one member of staff in particular. During my stay, all staff were attentive and responsive to my needs and requests and I especially commend another member of staff. I was pleased to meet the manager after her holiday and share possible feedback issues with her. I should have no hesitation in recommending Magna and should return were there to be any future need.
Thank you, John, for your kind words and recognition of the team at Magna. You were a joy to care for; the team enjoyed spending time with you and hearing your wonderful stories of a life well-lived. Your comments will be passed on to the team.

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.
