The manager was excellent, he couldn't have been more helpful.
We found the home cheerful and the facilities are excellent.
It would have helped us enormously if the daily routines on the floor had been more fully explained. I often found myself running around like a headless chicken trying to find
assistance. The staff on the whole were pretty good. The 2 people who ran the 'activities' were a joy.
The food was ok but could have been more imaginative at times. My husband was vegetarian and had very little appetite so perhaps we didn't appreciate the full benefit of the daily choices.
I found one had to practice being a bit more assertive than I was happy with to get things done. But the staff worked hard and were sometimes in short supply which made things more difficult.
One of the nurses, provided much comfort to me when I needed it.
My husband passed away in mid-June and everybody at Magnolia was supportive and gave 100% to the family at a very difficult time.

Magnolia is a great place and the staff, led by the manager, are the best one can hope for. Mother-in-law was very well looked after in the week she was there. This was her second visit and will be back for more.
Facilities are great, services are great, and nothing is a problem. The team are truly
providing peace of mind (to us) as we are allowed to take our break once in a while without any worry.
Thank you we will see you again.

Despite our nervousness at having our father stay in a respite home for the very first time, we were more than pleasantly surprised at how much he loved it there. The manager who runs the home is a fantastic leader and his energy and happy nature resounded throughout the home. Frankly, it was like a
five-star hotel - beautifully decorated and clean with friendly staff and happy residents. With activities every day, Dad was more engaged than he has been in a long time (a new life appeared in him during his stay). We are incredibly grateful to the manager and his team for doing such a fantastic job and we are now super happy that if we need to go away again this is the place that Dad will look forward to coming back to!

I am a friend and next of kin of one of the residents at Magnolia Court Care Home, who, very sadly, died recently. She entered the home after a long period of being bed bound at home, having had several admissions to hospital and experiencing deteriorating health generally. I was worried about her
being admitted as I knew she didn’t want to go to a home but was immediately reassured on visiting by the warm atmosphere, the cheerful and bright rooms and the feeling of gentle calm. My friend was made really welcome there and clearly no longer felt lonely. I’d like to thank the friendly and communicative manager for being so kind to my friend in her last months.

Dear Anne, thank you very much for sharing your feedback with us. It was a pleasure to have your dear friend with us. She will be missed by all of us at Magnolia Court. Thank you for support and making time to visit her regularly. Stay well and safe!

Mum arrived from the hospital after a fall and corrective surgery very disoriented. I found the staff at Magnolia Court Care Home very caring and helpful. She also thought they were lovely and very kind. Both activity coordinators were also very helpful and tried very hard to involve her in activities.
I’d highly recommend Magnolia.

This was my second experience of having a friend in Magnolia Court.
It is, in my opinion, well managed with caring staff and very pleasant rooms.
Unfortunately, this was not the right place for my friend as she felt cut off from her life. As she would only agree to a short stay, she never really took
advantage of the facilities, wouldn't mix and felt very isolated.
She felt that the home was more suitable for people in end-of-life care or with dementia rather than for rehabilitation following a hospital stay.
Sadly it was not a successful stay.

Reply from Octavian Stanciu, General Manager at Barchester Magnolia Court Care Home

Thank you very much for the review. It was a pleasure to have your friend with us, and hope she will be much happier at home. She will be missed by all staff from Magnolia Court. I'm wishing you and your family all the best. Stay well and safe!

Mum moved to Magnolia during the pandemic in October 2020. She was immediately welcomed and given a lovely corner room overlooking the garden and allotments to the rear of the home. The staff were truly amazing and Mum formed good relations with them. The level of catering and activities was excellent
and she was extremely comfortable throughout her stay. She passed away just before her 92nd birthday and I am extremely grateful that her life ended on such a positive note. Many thanks to all the staff for their friendliness, compassion and caring. I recommend Magnolia very highly.

We searched long and hard to find a good care home for my husband. Magnolia Court was by far the best option. It is clean, light, friendly and warm, the staff are courteous and treat the residents with respect, and it has a family atmosphere. They make great efforts to ensure that the residents are
stimulated and entertained. They keep me involved with health decisions and ensure that he
has all the relevant injections. My husband thinks that he is in a five-star hotel.

My husband had severe dementia and presented with challenging behaviour as he fought anyone who touched him. The staff coped very well with this without any complaints. I spent time with my husband and always felt I was well supported by both carers and nurses. The staff were polite and helpful.

My parent was in this care home just for respite. We have had a very bad experience as my parent suffered from dementia but unfortunately, this was not the right place for my parent to get all the help needed. My parent got in a bad state and ended up in the hospital and passed away shortly after.
This
happened only after I spoke to the manager to get my mother medical help but it was too late for my mother as she had deteriorated.
My parent was only near the middle stages of dementia. Was still enjoying life.
I was looking forward to her returning home.

I only have positive things to say about Magnolia Court. First of all, the staff were all friendly and lovely. They are helpful and patient with the elderly. Second, the place is clean and spacious. Lots of outdoor lighting. The food is fresh and varies. It feels like a 5-star hotel. Everyone is also
polite and helpful. They treat my aunty with respect and dignity. She is happy here as she says only good things about the place and she is smiling. I am grateful for her to be here. It is like a hotel but better.

My mother was a resident at Barchester Magnolia Court Care Home from November 2013 until her death in April 2022. Sadly she was seriously affected by dementia and by arthritis leading to her being effectively bedridden for her final eighteen months or so. During her entire stay at Magnolia Court Care
Home my mother was treated with the utmost care and kindness with due regard always being paid to her increasingly fragile condition. The standard of nursing care was extremely high as was that of the caring staff and despite my mother having always been opposed to moving to a home she quickly began to appreciate the high quality of the care available to her. The home itself is a purpose built building and is finished to a good standard with easy access. It is set in attractive grounds with a well tended garden area available when weather permits. General facilities such as lounges and dining room are to a high standard as are the activities laid on for residents. Happy to recommend the home to others without reservation.

We used the Magnolia Court Care Home for respite care for my mum; she stayed for two weeks. I was concerned about putting mum into respite care as I had never done this before. With my hand on my heart, I can say that it was marvellous! The manager and his team of carers look after Mum so well that
it put my mind at ease. Several family members went to visit Mum without booking and told me that Mum was always clean and dressed and well-fed; they were very happy with Magnolia Court. The staff are kind, friendly and very helpful and interacted with the residents; they encouraged Mum to take part in the activities, and they made my mum feel welcome and like part of the family. I will definitely use Magnolia Court for respite care again and can recommend them for this service. Well done, Magnolia Court!

Current Review Score: 9.8 (9.789)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.8 (9.789) out of 10 for Barchester Magnolia Court Care Home is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 29 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 29 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:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.789 for Barchester Magnolia Court Care Home is calculated as follows: ( (272 Excellents x 5) + (59 Goods x 4) + (6 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 337 Ratings = 4.789

  • b) 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 Barchester Magnolia Court Care Home is based on 29 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 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

    • ii) 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 62 registered maximum number of service users is 12.4, which has been reached with 29 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.
