The setting and the actual home and facilities are fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and really want to make things comfortable for my mum. There is a warm feeling on entry and this continues through the whole of the time and it has a relaxing feel. I look forward to coming to see Mum and the
facilities are beautiful. I am so pleased my mother is here - it is all so clean and fresh with spacious rooms.

Overall Experience 5.0 out of 5
My wife was a nursing resident in the Segovia wing of the Magna Centre for three months from the end on June 2019 where she died on 5th October 2019. She was cared for very professionally and with great compassion and dignity and throughout her wishes were paramount in her care. I would like to thank
all who cared for her and to commend the professionalism of the Magna Care Centre for the care that she received whilst resident. As visitors we were always made very welcome and greeted with warmth and kept informed throughout of her condition.

It is heartbreaking to see your relative deteriorate with dementia but the Magna is a small oasis of peace and safety. After visits I know I leave my dear Mum in kind, caring and capable hands. The staff are simply lovely here - all of them.

My father has been in the care home for a few months. The care that he is given is outstanding. They are a team that work very closely together and you can see the dedication of every one of them. They also make the family welcome and keep us updated with relevant information on a daily basis. I couldn't
ask any more from the home. The care assistants and the nurses are a credit to the home. I am more than happy with the accommodation. Dad's room is always clean and tidy. I can't thank them enough.

My uncle was in your home for a short term of respite. He seemed very happy to be there although he said, "there is no place like home". However, he told me that he had been in several homes for respite care and this one was the best. Thank you.

The staff are always friendly and the residents are happy and cheerful when they are interacting with the staff. The activities for residents exceed our expectations. Families of the residents are treated as one of the family of the care home too which is lovely. I cannot recommend this home enough.

It is never an easy time to consider a mum needs extra care and safety, so many considerations to choose a residential care home. The Magna has proved to be the best choice for a home from home open warm and comfortable environment for mum. Whether for support, care, dignity, fantastic caring team or
the freedom of family to visit anytime. It's a pleasure to recommend The Magna Care Centre for care, food and for life's support.

The care my Grandfather receives and has received since his arrival has been truly valued by myself and my family.
He has settled and found a new home at The Magna.
All the staff are friendly approachable and show dedication to their care.
There is a great sense of home and community here. The range
of activities and outings are great. The Magna staff team are fantastic.

Looks are deceiving at this place, my Mother was here for respite, the care she received was appalling, she was left in soiled clothes and several times left soaking in urine, medication given at wrong times and some were not given, she didn't eat as the food was awful. We ended up taking her out as
quickly as we could.

My Mum spent nearly a year in this care home before her death on 19.06.18.
I cannot over-praise this establishment.
Every aspect of the building, food, grounds and particularly the staff were excellent.
You would be hard-pressed to find anywhere better.
The staff became friends to us and Mum.
We
miss my Mum but we also miss the staff.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.869)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.869) out of 10 for Magna Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 65 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 65 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.869 for Magna Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (661 Excellents x 5) + (91 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 756 Ratings = 4.869
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Magna Care Centre is based on 65 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 65 Positive reviews. Points = 1
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Kayleigh

Kayleigh Frulli

Job Title: Home Manager Joined: 2010

Kayleigh is our Home Manager at Magna Care Centre, here’s a little bit more about herself and the home in her own words:


“I lead a professional team in providing the highest standards of residential and nursing care for our residents with varying needs. During my early career, I gained a breadth of medical knowledge, including intensive, elderly and stroke care. With over 9 years working at Magna Care Centre as a Registered Nurse and then as Deputy Manager I bring experience and knowledge of the residents, families and local community to my role.


I am passionate about ensuring residents have dignified and respectful care and enriching their lives with social interaction. If I can make a difference to just one person a day it makes my job worthwhile.


Magna is a relaxed home-from-home. The calm and welcoming atmosphere is down to the fantastic caring team that supports me. Nothing is ever too much and they are always ready to go the extra mile when needed, an absolute credit to me, our home and our company.”
