Mum came to live at Magdalen House Care Home in January. I cared for her at home and was extremely anxious about leaving her with anyone. I am so happy to say that she has settled in very quickly and is extremely well looked after in every way. I am totally reassured that she is absolutely fine here. All of the staff are exemplary and I couldn't wish for more.

Tailor-made care packages

At Magdalen House Care Home, we pride ourselves on our individualised approach to person-centred care. Every aspect of each resident’s wellbeing is taken into account upon admission before a detailed, personalised care package is drawn up. As time goes by, that care plan is regularly reviewed and any adjustments recommended according to need.
