Life in a Caring Home is viewed as a continuum of life – an opportunity to gain new experiences and learn new things – whilst maintaining your existing hobbies and interests.
At every Caring Home, there is a dedicated activities co-ordinator who is on hand to support residents in learning new hobbies and maintaining existing ones.
An activities programme is developed by the activities co-ordinators who work in conjunction with the clinical team in reviewing each individuals occupational interests and tailoring an activities programme that addresses them.
For further information about activities please visit our “living with us” section.

"My mum was very ill last year and was admitted to Magna. What lovely staff, she is so happy there, we did think that she would not see her 93rd birthday, but I am sure the loving care given to her has pulled her through. Building needs some T.L.C but the staff should be applauded." - Wendy D

They provided a very high level of professional compassionate care. Their response to medical needs and for example falls was always quick and saved unnecessary trips to hospital.
