The nursing and care staff has reached a standard beyond expectation. The staff the cares for my mother are dedicated devoted to the long-term welfare of my mother. The staff appear to be cherry picked from the numerous applications. I would recommend this establishment to all and everyone in need of
being looked after.

Since mum was admitted in March, she has been extremely well cared for. The staff are very kind and professional. The staff have not only been good with mum but also a huge support for me at this very upsetting time.


The home is in superb grounds and a lovely outlook for mum who is bed-bound. It

is very clean, rooms well decorated, a home from home.


It is the best decision my brother and I made choosing this home and would recommend to others.

The first impression is 'What a beautiful place' and this carries on inside. The receptionist is very helpful and the rooms were really nice.
The staff are so patient and caring and so good to everyone they meet.
I couldn't hope for more for my lovely husband, to end his days here.

After moving my Mother away from another care home how I wish we had found Magna so much sooner. I cannot fault the place. The staff are happy and committed. They work as a team from nurses to housekeeping, from the kitchen to carers they are all dedicated to the residents and go out of their way, on
all fronts, to make sure everyone is happy and cared for. The rooms are light and airy with beautiful views. The whole place is spotless. The food is varied and delicious but they are very willing to cater for little whims and fancies. There is a coffee bar for visitors which includes lovely cake! There is a variety of activities which vary from week to week so no boredom here. The residents have regular meetings and are involved in choices & decisions. There are also regular meetings held for families. It is in a quiet rural setting with extensive, accessible grounds. So pleased at the fuss and care they give Mother and the wonderful support they give to me. Definitely a home from home.

I am so well looked after, I can't believe how lucky I am. It is a wonderful place. I have a beautiful room overlooking woodland. My washing is done every day and comes back on hangers.
The nurses and carers are always around and help me all the time.

My husband had been in Magna Care Centre for more than a year when he first went there from Poole hospital his health was very poor, everybody thought that he wouldn't make it but after a month his health had improved a lot because he was looked after by all the kind and friendly nurses, besides these
all the other staff are very nice and helpful as well and always have a smile on their faces and made you felt comfortable to stayed there.
All the rooms and public areas are very clean and tidy and I can move my husband in the wheelchair around the building with no problem.
In the future, I would recommend my friends to come here if they need care.

My wife transferred from a residential care home to The Magna Care Centre one year ago. She is a lot happier now obviously due to the excellent room and surroundings, the friendly care and attention she receives from the nursing, care and activities personnel.

Magna has improved considerably since the new manager has taken over. Carers are very good although on would like more permanent staff instead of agencies.
Food is good. Care is good. Excellent home to be in.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.863)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.863) out of 10 for Magna Care Centre is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 51 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 51 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 4.863 for Magna Care Centre is calculated as follows: ( (514 Excellents x 5) + (73 Goods x 4) + (4 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 591 Ratings = 4.863

  • 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 Magna Care Centre is based on 51 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 69 registered maximum number of service users is 13.8, which has been reached with 51 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.

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.”
