Rathside were able to take my mother in at very short notice after a serious fall and have been very caring towards her and helped her deal with her disabilities. My mother feels safe and happy in the home.
I was in 'Respite Care' at Rathside Care Home for 3 weeks following an operation in hospital and found all the staff so very caring and totally dedicated to their jobs. They couldn't have been more helpful to everyone and very patient.
Enjoyed my stay.
Thank you all very very much.
Thank you for the lovely comments.
I came here after a fall at home. I did not know what to expect. The experience lasted longer than I expected, however, it was a lovely experience. I did not join in the activities but there was always something going on.
Thank you for the lovely comments.
Since my Mum came to Rathside in October, the level of care and dignity showed to her by care staff has been exemplary. They have display3ed fantastic patience and have gone the extra mile by taking time to find out about her family and learning everyone's name before they visit. We have always been very impressed with all the activities that take place. This level of care and professionalism must be conveyed to staff.
Overall, extremely pleased with Rathside Care Home. However, I do expect more external visits despite the pressure this would place on staffing levels.
They always seem to be friendly and cheerful during my regular visits.
Help with her feeding and personal care is provided on a regular basis and seems to be a match for her needs.
I have experience of other care homes and what immediately struck me when I entered Rathside was the cleanliness and the pleasant smell. All management and staff have been more than helpful and very attentive to my mother's needs. I feel very reassured that my mother is surrounded by people who approach their jobs in a very professional manner.
Thank you Jane .. I will pass on your comments to all of the staff.
Great, happy, the staff are great and very helpful. Always smiling, they are just great. The best.
Every time I visit my wife, she tells me that Rathside is her home now. She is very happy there and is very complimentary about the staff, the food and the care given. From my point of view, I can see that my wife is happy. The staff are great, very friendly and I very much appreciate the care given so I know from experience how difficult my wife can be at times given her Alzheimer's condition.
Poor care by night staff. Left on commode too long. Hot food served lukewarm. Medical requests not always actioned. Overall I am happy at Rathside. It has a homely and inviting feel and is beautifully kept.
The residents seemed to be very happy and there is plenty of occupational remedies for them to take part in.
Although staff are kept very busy, they always seem to have time for everyone including visitors.
The premises are clean and well maintained. Generally, I am very happy with all aspects of the care that they provide and their communication with myself.
We come to the home once a month for a lunch, always very good indeed. All the staff are friendly and helpful. We like to go to the summer fair and Christmas things. The home is really good in every way.
Very friendly and helpful staff.
Thank you Roy.
Mum is always well cared for by excellent care staff and we personally chose Rathside for her.
Thank you Heidi.
Management are very friendly and welcoming.
It's like home from home for residents and they are very well cared for.
Thank you for the comments Patricia.

Meet the Team (7)

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.
