About Us

We are Magna, a residential care home in Wigston, Leicestershire. We support adults with learning disabilities and autistic adults, people living with mental health conditions, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment, including younger adults. Respite stays are available.

We plan around individuals rather than around a single routine. The people living here have quite different notions of a good week. Some want to be busy, with work, college, sport or regular groups and plenty of getting out into the town. Others want quiet and a rhythm they can rely on, and where change is unsettling we keep things steady and prepare carefully for anything unusual.

Because we also support people with physical disabilities and with sight or hearing impairment, a good deal of our attention goes on access, equipment and communication. Where those things are handled properly and without fuss, they stop shaping somebody's day and leave them free to think about the rest of their life.

We are careful about independence too. If somebody can do a thing themselves, more slowly than we could do it for them, that is their time and their decision.

Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. Please ring us if you would like to look round.

Can Mum or Dad stay here if their dementia gets worse?

No. Magna is not listed for dementia care on the CQC register. If dementia is likely, choose a home that is, so a second move is not needed later. Source: CQC register

Will the council help pay, or is it self funded only?
