What our families say

"From my first visit to Magnolia Court Care Home, I found the care home itself, spotless and well kept. the atmosphere and staff (all members) were warm friendly and very caring. There was constant activities, meetings and events that included family as well as relatives. Information was up to date and displayed throughout the building. It is a pleasure to visit my Mother here as I am confident she is receiving the best of treatment. Staff keep us updated and involved in all matters."

"Magnolia is a very friendly, clean and buzzing with life nursing home. Residents and staff are one big family. There is compassion, understanding and help. Especially in the critical situations when residents and their families need to be comforted when the grief and distress need to be eased. Personally, I am grateful for the attention and help my husband and myself experienced."

"I fell just before Christmas 2017 and fractured my left humerus, just below the shoulder. Over Christmas, my two daughters looked after me (I live alone) but I decided to go into care and let them be free of worry. This home is delightful - the staff is a real league of nations but they work together very harmoniously and nothing is too much trouble. As to cost, it is dearer than other homes in the neighbourhood but in my opinion, it is well worth the extra expense."

"Magnolia Court is an extraordinary care home. It is, in my experience, difficult to manage the enormous pressures of caring for the elderly, frail and vulnerable members of our society. Our aunt has been looked after with an extraordinary degree of professionalism, dedication and real care. It is not just one person who makes the difference but the way everyone seems to work as a team. My aunt's dignity and humanity are respected and acknowledged and every attention is given to the details of her care by the wonderful staff and management of this excellent care home. Fantastic."

"My mother stayed for over 1 month in short-term respite care and her stay was very comfortable. She was apprehensive but she was well supported from the start and the manager met personally with me to review options and explain the process, which put my mind at rest. The food was to our surprise very good and the rooms were well appointed. The downstairs sitting room area is lovely for a chat and the staff were always accommodating. I highly recommend Magnolia Court."

"The majority of staff are kind and thoughtful but the turnover is alarming, meaning that at times, the provision is not adequate and the residents and remainings staff are therefore not fully supported. The entrance hall and downstairs lounges are well decorated and smart but more care should be given to individual rooms, upstairs lounges and the maintenance of furnishings and fixtures."

"There should be more carers in order to provide a prompt and personal quality service. The carers are wonderful but need help."

"Originally we intended to place to my wife in another home in Camden but they judged wrongly in my view that my wife was too ill for them to take on. Magnolia Court Care Home evidently has greater experience in dealing with patients with domestic. The level of care they have provided in the last two months has exceeded our expectation. The room is compact but light and airy. The facilities at Magnolia Court are fine and the food is excellent. The staff are a delight and provide a very high level of care. No complaints at all and Magnolia Court has allayed all the fears we had before committing my wife to an environment outside home."

"The staff are kind and caring, always smiling and very professional. I have no other experience of care homes but I believe this home is exceptional. It is very calm and you feel that your loved ones receive all the medical and caring support they need day and night. The rooms are bright and clean (just a little small!)."

"Immaculate and extremely well managed. Caring and joyful staff. Marvellous timetable of activities. Am very grateful to have my mother here in this care home for her "end of life cycle" where I am able to assist her in a lovely environment. All round I can say this place is run at a very high standard."

"My mother was transferred here from the hospital with a broken right femur. First impressions were very pleasant, clean and welcoming reception and staff. It felt like a holiday hotel. The room was excellent with a TV, ensuite bathroom and toilet. Staff again were excellent, friendly and caring - although sometimes a bit of a wait for her lavatorial needs (she needs a hoist) Overall very pleased."

"My husband has settled in very well. Staff are very helpful and amenities are very good. There is a lot of entertainment that he likes. He is a bad eater and the staff always try to give him another option."

"My mother, in late stage Lewy Body Dementia, was transferred to Magnolia Court, NW2 after a difficult 6 month period of home care. Given my Mother's rapid decline and loss of cognitive and physical function, the move was inevitable. Even so, as all families find, the final decision to move a loved one is heart-wrenching. The sense of relief and gratitude I feel since my Mother's move to Magnolia Court has replaced any doubts. My Mother is treated with kindness, dignity and patience. Her individual medical, psychological and social needs are carefully considered and provided for. The staff are gentle, attentive, professional and respectful. In a short time, as a result of the outstanding round the clock care, consistency, regular excellent meals- healthy, appetising, fresh, well cooked and appropriate to resident's needs, careful personal care and hairdressing. My Mother shows improvements; she is calm, settled and content."

"Magnolia Court is a quite outstanding care home. My husband has dementia and has been a resident in Magnolia Court for nearly six years - so has been through a large number of 'phases', from hyperactivity to his present state of complete immobility and inability to communicate with the outside world. At every stage, the staff at Magnolia Court have treated him with care, respect and compassion - and as I visit every day, I have watched them treat the other residents with exactly the same combination of warmth and understanding. Many institutions say in their mission statement that they respect and honour the humanity of their residents - but Magnolia Court actually puts this into practice, day in and day out, from top to bottom. This has been consistent through staff changes, management changes and refurbishment of the building. I don't know how they do it - but it has made what could have been a deeply painful experience into a part of life's rich pattern. Ten out of ten!"

"I only have 3 weeks experience but have found the care home welcoming, friendly and well run. All staff ready to help and listen to concerns. Food generally very good. More one to one time for residents would be an advantage but I recognise this is down to staffing levels. A very nice birthday party was organised for my resident."

"Mother moved to North London in December 2015, at the age of 94. For much of this time, she has been a resident of Magnolia Court, a remarkable community set in North London. From the outset, she was made to feel welcome and well liked. I cannot sufficiently praise the care, support and personal attention she has received from the team of dedicated professionals. The dignity and comfort of the residents are placed at the heart of the community. Its ethos radiates outward to affect all members — an inspired leadership team, carers and activities, catering and administrative staff and resident's families. The atmosphere is at once calm, informal and unhurried, with a decidedly ‘can do’ feel. In recent months, Magnolia Court has successfully completed a refurbishment cycle, giving carers, residents and their families — a relaxing backdrop to our lives and supporting roles. My appreciation for the work of his community is boundless. I have no hesitation in recommending it to others."

"I had an amazing experience during my stay at this nursing home. Staff had been very caring, friendly and helpful. Always willing to go that extra mile to bring a smile on your face. Rooms are always kept clean and tidy. Even at reception, you will always receive a warm welcome. Overall, our experience has been amazing and wonderful. Would highly recommend."

"Magnolia provides very good care to it's residents. Although there are obvious shortages in staff, the care, attention, cleanliness and constant stimulation of the residents is outstanding. The atmosphere in the home is very friendly, carers, nurses and the administration staff work in a very close family like unit."

"A lovely environment my mum can call her home away from home. She is very well looked after here at Magnolia. The home is clean, comfortable and the staff are caring and well trained to cater for the needs of the residents. Very happy with my mother's care. I feel safe in the knowledge that she is very well here. She has settled nicely and is happy, clean and infection free."

"My mother was a resident at Magnolia Court Care Home from July 2015 until January 2016. She had had a severe stroke and was unable to speak or swallow. Through her time at magnolia Court she was treated with excellent care and dignity. The staff were all caring and kind and also welcoming to the family. My mother passed away at the end of January 2016 at the age of 97. Her final years were spent in exceptionally caring nursing home."

"A longer version of this message was sent as an email to the Management Team on 4.6.2016: "My family and I wanted to send you a commendation for the excellent service that we feel that Magnolia Court provides to its residents from our perspective as a family who has our beloved mother living with you. Overall, as a Caring Community of Staff, you really prioritise ensuring that the residents’ do experience a family atmosphere which is conducive to their well-being and we believe they feel very safe and stable with the healthy routine at Magnolia. All this is very important to us as a family and we really appreciate all the care and love being lavished on my mother and all the residents – the kind of atmosphere at Magnolia is rare and hard to find and not to be taken for granted. Many many thanks to you all. Best wishes and Congratulations!""
