The care staff are attentive and always listen to any issues. We are very grateful for the support they have provided to our relative. The activities they provide are varied and stimulating for the residents.
Thank you very much for your lovely feedback. We are delighted to hear that you have been happy with the care and support provided to your relative.
It is wonderful to know that you find our team attentive and approachable, and that our activities are enjoyable and stimulating for our residents....
Since our mum walked into Rathside she has felt at home. Her own home had become a prison that she had no joy in..and she now has smiles every day rather than only when we are with her. Rathside itself is absolutely beautiful. It's sunny and cosy with so much going on all the time. They really do cater wonderfully for both Dementia and Alzheimer's. They plan activities daily which mum can either join in and have a fun day or she can spend the day sat in her own room watching her beloved TV. Her room cocoons her on the days that she can't find the strength to join in. So she really does have the best of all worlds. As we still have our days out? And the staff.. the staff are all just wonderful. They have guided us after a terrifying double diagnosis and helped us when things feel dark. They are wonderful with mums sometimes challenging mood swings. And they all really go above and beyond the call of duty. Care and respect in abundance. Where would we be without you all thank you
Thank you so much for your heartfelt and thoughtful feedback. Reading your kind words means so much to all of us.
We are truly delighted that your mum feels at home at Rathside and that she has found happiness, comfort, and a sense of belonging with us. Knowing that she is smiling more and...
Our family has been so pleased with the care and support my mum has received during her stay. From the moment she arrived, the staff made her feel welcome, safe, and valued. They have shown genuine kindness, patience, and compassion, always taking the time to listen to her and ensure she is comfortable and happy.
The home is clean, welcoming, and has a lovely atmosphere. It's reassuring to know that my mum is well cared for which has made a real difference to her wellbeing.
Communication with our family has been excellent, and the staff are always approachable and willing to answer any questions. We are incredibly grateful for everything they have done and would highly recommend this care home to anyone looking for high-quality, compassionate care for a loved one.
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback. It means a great deal to the whole team to know that your mum has felt welcomed, safe, and well cared for during her stay with us.
We are delighted that you have been happy with the care, communication, and support provided. Your kind words will be...
Rathside care home as been excellent with my dad, I cannot find anything what would make me concerned. The staff are all amazing and so friendly.
Rathside also allow you in with a dog which is great, and to see other residents interactive with my dog is just amazing. The staff are always doing some activities with the residents which is excellent to see.
Anyone looking for a care home for there loved ones I wouldn't hesitate and go check Rathside out, my dad as settled well and always says he is well looked after which is a great comfort to me knowing dad is happy.
Rathside goes above and beyond for their residents and family. There is always clear, constant communication and dialogue which puts everyone at ease. Compassionate, hard working and respectful staff ensure consistency and reassurance for those being cared for. We as a family feel comfort knowing our father is safe and all his needs are being met, also confident that he is in the best place for him at this time.
Sincerely, many thanks to the whole team!
My Mum is sadly very far into her dementia journey. She's been at Rathside for several years now and I regularly thank my lucky stars that I found this home. The home itself is clean, beautifully decorated and welcoming. The meals are excellent and there is a wide variety of activities for residents to engage with if they wish. However, the biggest asset of Rathside is undoubtedly its staff. Every member of staff from the managers, seniors, carers and housekeepers, treat Mum with kindness, respect and compassion. They all seem to know Mum so well, and go out of their way to ensure she is happy, comfortable and well cared for. Her changing care needs are continuously reassessed to ensure she is as comfortable as possible as she declines. The staff have also always been a great personal support to me, and are always available for a chat and to answer any questions I have. I would absolutely recommend Rathside to anyone looking for a home for their loved one.
Social services were responsible for placing my father in a care home over a year ago and despite us not really knowing what he was going to, we couldn't be more delighted with their selection. Comfortable accommodation, very friendly and caring staff and I'm sure Bill will agree, delicious food. Though not really knowing the complete situation, I'm sure he his comfortable and content.
All of the carers at Rathside give Mum total care, attention and love to ensure her life is as comfortable and happy as possible.
We visit Mum regularly and are fortunate in that we can still have some form of interaction with Mum and sometimes we find that Mum fully recognises us which is wonderful.
While we are there one indicator of the love given to Mum is when one of Mum's regular carers joins us Mum reacts very positively to them usually with a smile, sometimes even with words, Mum's new family.
Our family have total trust in the Rathside team and can not thank them enough for the high quality of care given to our Mum and Granma.
Thank you.
Thank you Mike for your kind review. I will be sure to share this with our caring team of dedicated staff and the manager and I very much appreciate your support throughout Mum's placement. Thank you.
I have found the staff and owner very approachable, caring and hardworking with appropriate humour. All residents are included in activities and conversations. Medication is given regularly and delivered personally by the senior carer. The food is excellent and different diets are catered for. The meals are well presented in a lovely, bright dining room. The laundry staff works wonders.
Mum seems very happy at Rathside. She has nothing but praise for the staff. She has settled in and made friends. There are lots of activities to keep her occupied. The care home is decorated lovely. Staff are very friendly. I would highly recommend.
Rathside has always been a bright, friendly and engaging environment for Dad and for us to visit. Always made welcome. The meals provided are excellent, we have on occasions joined Dad and again always made welcome. Dad doesn't always engage in the activities which is his choice but when he does he seems happy and content. He has freedom to wander if he chooses but also requires more support recently of which I have no concerns. I feel his rapport with the staff is good. My only niggle is that I can't always attend the music events if they are announced short notice. I would recommend Rathside.
We were very lucky to get my mum into this care home. Staff are so friendly and excellent carers. When we are at home, we know that Mum is looked after really well so we have no concerns.
All staff are fabulous. They are very caring and committed to making the residents happy. Mum says it's clean, warm and comfortable.
Rathside is a wonderful care home. It always has the residents as its top priority and treats them with dignity. The staff are very caring. They are also very knowledgeable and professional, keeping the family informed as and when necessary and responding to queries quickly. My family feel very reassured with the care provided. Thank you.
Thank you for the comments. I will ensure that I pass them on to the whole team.
The staff are very professional, helpful and caring. They keep family members fully informed and respond to our questions promptly. The staff have established a great rapport with our service user who is very happy in Rathside. The food, accommodation and facilities are excellent.
Thank you. I will ensure that I pass your comments on to all of the staff team.
Rathside Care Home has a friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Staff are caring and supportive towards both the residents and their families, always having the time to discuss any concerns.
Thank you for the comments, I will ensure that they are passed on to all of the staff team.
When she lived at home I loved staying with my grandma and have many happy memories. Sadly, she is no longer well enough to live on her own but Rathside has become her new home which she is very happy in. When I visit the staff are friendly and they know my grandma very well. They are kind and caring and make her smile if she is down. I am so glad she is in Rathside.
Grandma has a lovely smile and I am pleased that you can still get to see this on your visits to the home. Thank you for the comments and I will ensure that they are passed to all of the staff team.
Mum went into the care of Rathside Care Home in July 2020. She settled in very quickly and has remained happy and relaxed in her new surroundings. The staff at Rathside Care Home have been excellent with mum and her needs, to which they’re extremely mindful. As a family, we’re very happy with mums overall care from her food, room, mental stimulus and physical care. My sister and I live abroad so when we’re in the area we like to see mum often, Rathside Care Home are always very accommodating to our visiting needs and gives us the privacy we require. Thank you to all the staff at Rathside Care Home but particularly to the Manager.
Thank you for the positive comments. I will ensure that they are passed on to the rest of the Team.
Mum started her Rathside Care Home journey in January 2022. Mum can be a very awkward, stubborn and determined lady and the staff had a hard job on their hands when she arrived. Because of everyone’s caring, empathetic and engaging manner, mum has mellowed immensely. She is now very happy at Rathside Care Home and is looked after extremely well. She enjoys the food. She doesn’t take part in the activities which is her choice and the staff respect that. The manager and her team are fantastic and highly experienced and can be relied upon to answer any questions we have. They give us help and guidance when needed. It is very comforting to know mum is in safe hands.
It's nice to hear that mum has said that she is happy at Rathside. I will pass on your comments to all of the team. Thank you
My Mum has been a care home resident at Rathside Care Home for twenty months. She entered the home at a difficult time of Covid restrictions. This was obviously very challenging for the carers, their families as well as the residents. As families, we could rely on the careful approaches to the situation of the staff and leaders. The protocols were strict to protect residents but we were allowed to drop goods in for our loved ones and we were sent photos and videos to keep us informed of how our Mum was doing. This was such a help. My Mum has settled in well and I feel comforted and supported by the updates on Mum’s progress and health. The liaison with the local health centre is effective. There are lots of enrichment activities such as Musical events, special occasion celebrations and craft days. I would like to thank the carers for their discreet, professional care and their thoughtfulness in looking after our Mum. They are very ably led and managed by the manager who clearly cares about her residents.
Yes, it was hard for everyone, however, finally, things are improving. Thank you for your comments, I will ensure that I pass these on to the rest of the team.

Sumeet Marjara is the Operations Director and one of the owners of Marjara Care Group. He joined the family business in 2007 after graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (BA) degree in Business and Finance. Since then, he has played a key role in the continued growth and development of the organisation.
Sumeet oversees the effective operation of the group's care homes, ensuring they have the resources, support and strategic direction needed to deliver outstanding care. He works closely with the Registered Manager, Home Managers and the wider leadership team to ensure each home operates safely, efficiently and in line with the high standards expected across Marjara Care Group.
He is passionate about providing excellent care environments for residents while supporting staff to achieve their full potential. His approachable leadership style and commitment to continuous improvement have helped shape the strong family values that underpin the organisation.
Outside of work, Sumeet has a keen interest in football and fashion. He is also a proud husband to Shelly, and family remains at the heart of everything he does, both personally and professionally.

My journey within Marjara Care Group began when I joined the company as a 19-year-old care assistant while studying. From the very beginning, I developed a passion for providing high-quality, person-centred care and supporting older people to live fulfilling lives. Over the years, I progressed through a number of roles including Senior Carer, Clinical Lead and Registered Manager, gaining invaluable practical experience and developing my leadership skills at every stage.
To broaden my knowledge and experience, I took a career break from Marjara Care Group and joined another care provider as a Deputy Area Manager. This role gave me the opportunity to oversee multiple services, strengthen my operational management skills and gain valuable insight into different approaches to care governance and quality assurance. After this experience, I returned to Marjara Care Group as Operations Manager and Registered Manager, where I now oversee the organisation's three care homes.
I hold a Master's Degree in Psychology with Coaching and have completed a Level 7 qualification in Senior Leadership and Management. I strongly believe that effective leadership is about supporting people, developing teams and creating a positive culture where residents receive the highest possible standard of care.
Today, I work closely with each Home Manager and Head Senior across our three locations to ensure our homes continue to provide safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led services. I am passionate about continuous improvement, staff development and creating environments where both residents and colleagues can thrive.
Outside of work, I am a proud wife and mother of two sons. My family is incredibly important to me and helps to remind me every day of the value of compassion, respect and treating every resident as I would want my own loved ones to be treated.

I am Zoe Krochmal, Home Manager at Rathside Care Home. My journey with the Marjara Care Group began in November 2014, when I started as a night care assistant at Sycamore Lodge. Over the years, I have progressed through a variety of roles—including Night Care Assistant, Day Care Assistant, Senior Care Assistant, Head of Care, and Deputy Manager—which allowed me to gain a wealth of experience and insight into every aspect of care provision. During this time, I also completed my Level 5 in Leadership & Management, which has further strengthened my ability to lead, inspire, and support both residents and team members.
Currently, I work closely with the Home Registered Manager to ensure our services meet the highest standards of safety, effectiveness, caring, responsiveness, and leadership. I am passionate about fostering a warm and nurturing environment where every resident feels valued and respected. Beyond my professional responsibilities, I take immense pride in my role as a Wife and Mother. The importance of my family instils in me a deep sense of compassion and respect, constantly reminding me to treat each resident with the same kindness and understanding that I would wish for my own loved ones. This personal philosophy guides me every day, shaping the way I approach my work and interactions within Rathside Care Home.

My journey in the Human resources/Administrative sector began while I was studying for my Master’s degree in Project Management. During this time, I worked as a Human Resources Assistant, where I developed a strong foundation in HR administration, including maintaining staff records, supporting recruitment processes and assisting with employee onboarding.
Following the completion of my Master’s degree in 2023, I progressed into the role of HR Officer within a dementia nursing home in London. In this role, I gained valuable experience in managing HR operations within a regulated care environment, developing a clear understanding of compliance requirements and the importance of effective workforce management.
In 2026, I joined Marjara Care Group as an HR Officer, where I continue to build on my experience and contribute to the organisation. My role involves supporting recruitment, maintaining accurate staff documentation and ensuring compliance with CQC and Home Office requirements. Through my experience, I have developed a strong understanding of how effective HR practices support the delivery of safe, high-quality, person-centred care. I am passionate about creating a positive and supportive working environment where staff feel valued and empowered to perform their roles to the highest standard.
I am committed to continuous professional development and strive to contribute to the ongoing improvement and success of the organisation.

I have worked for Majara Care Group since 2016. During this time, I have gained my qualifications and progressed through several roles, starting as a Carer, then becoming an AP, followed by Senior Carer, and now Head Senior Carer.
Majara Care Group has given me many opportunities to develop within the care profession, and I am proud of the progress I have made throughout my career. In my current role as Head Senior Carer, I ensure that staff maintain high standards of care and professionalism. I work closely with a range of professionals, including doctors and social workers, to ensure the best possible outcomes for our residents.
Providing high-quality care is at the heart of everything I do. I make sure that every resident is cared for in the same way I would want my own family to be cared for, with dignity, respect, compassion, and understanding.
I am a wife and a mother of two children, and my family means the world to me. This is reflected in the way I care for our residents. I consider them my second family and believe they deserve the same kindness, respect, and support that I would want for my loved ones.
I am passionate about delivering person-centred care and helping to create a safe, supportive, and positive environment where residents can feel valued, respected, and well looked after.

I hold Basic and Intermediate Food Hygiene certificates and an NVQ Level 3, and I take pride in building meaningful relationships with residents and colleagues while consistently striving to be the best version of myself.
