View Full Details of Magna Care CentreThe staff are wonderful. The care is professional and caring - the nurses are attentive and informative. The support staff are friendly and cheerful. The facilities are excellent. The lounge is comfortable and welcoming. The activities are engaging, and the residents are clearly enjoying them. The garden and grounds are beautiful, and the rooms have a great outlook. I have felt very confident that my mother-in-law is being well looked after.
My very dear friend of many years was admitted to Magna Care Centre yesterday. She is here for end-of-life care, suffering from terminal lung cancer. On first impression of the home, I am happy that it's very welcoming, with kind, compassionate staff in attendance. My friend has a lovely, comfortable room with a garden view. I feel already that she will be looked after.
My wife received good nursing and personal care. Every member of staff is hardworking and treated her with respect, compassion and friendship, and given support. Housekeeping is excellent. Her room and ensuite is modern and well finished. The house and grounds are well-maintained. The communal area and restaurant are good in design and finish. I shall enthusiastically recommend The Magna Care Home. Thank you.
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.
The staff are professional, friendly and approachable. I felt my mum was in safe hands and was well cared for. Our family was well supported by the team. Our opinions were valued and listened to staff were always available and accessible. The environment is well cared for and pleasant to be in. The food was amazing, the activities were creative and varied to meet individual needs. All of the team and Magna contributed to making the end of my mums life as comfortable and positive as possible. Thank you.
As a keen volunteer I was keen to manage a stall at the summer Fair this August. I joined a resident, to sell raffle tickets for a humongous box of Alcohol that had been gifted by the volunteer hairdresser. We sold £200 of tickets . The staff kept an eye on us both and encouraged participants to enjoy each stall. It was a super successful day.
After a major operation, I spent some weeks at Magna convalescing until I was well enough to return home. The medical and personal care I needed was excellent, ensuring my recovery progressed well, and my dietary needs were well met, with a very varied menu. All the staff go above and beyond to look after all residents and I have no hesitation recommending Magna Care Centre.
First time I have been away for respite, the home was really lovely. Staff very friendly and helpful. I was really happy there for the 2 weeks. Felt very safe there. Happy with food, I had no complaints. Happy with my room and outlook.
The care home is really good, comfortable, really nice bunch of people who always on hand to help my mum. My mum has been here nearly a year and the carers and nurses love her. Lovely day room where you can visit the residents, lots of activities each day. I would recommend Magna Care Home, very modern and lovely grounds.
Magna Care, everything you would want for a loved one, fantastic staff and facilities, all in a beautiful setting. As a daughter of a resident you just want the best care with the knowledge your loved one is having the best life possible even at these difficult times. I cannot speak highly enough of the place, but it's the staff that makes all the difference, the care and dignity is obvious and shines through.
Environment - clean and tidy, both Mum's room and communal areas. Mum - personal care well attended to and requests quickly met. Staff - friendly and engaging with Mum and visitors. Activities available on site and music activity in morning. Food - good choice and Mum's preferences catered for.
My nan is happy and well cared for.The environment is nice and welcoming. The staff is friendly and kind. Bonus points for being dog friendly. They have lots of activities which are volunteers which creates a good sense of community.
Magna Care looked after my Mum beautifully during her last few days. They also looked after the family too, bringing us food and talking with us whenever we needed it. The home is very peaceful and calming and we wish we could have gotten her there sooner so she could enjoy it more. I would certainly reccomend Magna Care.
My sister was admitted for palliative care so was only a resident for a few weeks. However the staff got to know her and had meaningful relationships with her. The care she received was very good, personal and delivered with care and understanding. We became a team, working together to ensure all her needs were met and that her final days were peaceful and full of love, not just from her family but the staff as well. Thank you.
Dad was transferred from Bournemouth Hospital to Magna Care Centre for end of life care. He was very well looked after and received excellent care for the final weeks of his life. The facilities were excellent and I was very pleased and impressed by the dedication, professionalism and compassion shown by all the staff. Thank you.
Magna Care Centre welcomed my Father as a Resident in a very caring and compassionate way so much so like a home away from home. The Team were extremely giving of themselves to ensure Dad's Care and Comfort needs were addressed from admission. In addition to ensuring immediate family of Dad my Brother and I were made most welcome and kept informed at all times. I cannot speak highly enough of all the Team at Magna Care put simply they are all outstanding in ensuring Residents are looked after. A family member asked me what is Magna care centre like I replied it's like a Resort with Nurses and Carers that go above and beyond .
I have over the years visited and worked in many care homes and i have to say this one is probably the overall best. I love the location, i love the friendly atmosphere in the home, the staff all seem very welcoming. The menu looks amazing and i'm told the food is very good. I got to sample Simnel cake that was on offer for guests to help themselves to on Easter Monday, it was wonderful and such a nice touch as are the drinks that are always available for visitors to help themselves to. When my time comes i hope i would be able to come and live in this home but hopefully a few years off yet ! My friend who is on respite seems as happy as he could be, i've seen him in other homes and all he talked about was going home, he's not done that here
I consider our family to be very fortunate that our 90-year old Mum was referred to the beautiful Magna Care Centre after becoming non-weight bearing following a fall. Although her limited hearing and lack of sight means she can't participate fully in the wonderful activities, she enjoys the company and loves the interaction with the friendly, kind and caring staff. The food is delicious and nursing care first rate. Any issues are dealt with promptly by the staff and a local GP visits regularly to support the resident's medical care. 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.
I am only too pleased to have the opportunity to write this review. After 6 weeks in Forest Holme, our beloved 52 year old daughter moved to Magna on 2nd January for end of life care. My wife, other daughter and I made an unannounced visit prior to the move. We were made to feel very welcome and were impressed with the general atmosphere, it's cleanliness and attitude of the staff we spoke to. Throughout our daughter's 6 short weeks at Magna, the manager was always approachable and handled any issues or queries quickly and effectively. The nurses worked incredibly hard and were so kind and caring to our daughter and the wider family. The award winning chef was also outstanding in her ability to create meals that our daughter could eat and enjoy. Nothing was too much trouble. Although our daughter wasn't well enough to participate in many of the activities there was always a variety of things going on. Thank you to everyone for the care and support given to our daughter and us.
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
