Our dad was in the care home for 4 weeks till he passed away on 6/2/25. He was treated with dignity and respect at all times, we were informed at all times of any changes and all the staff were great and nothing was too much for dad. He came in with a pressure sore and they it healed very quickly.

Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review for Red Rose Care Community. We are fortunate to have incredibly talented and professional staff. The level of nursing is second to none at Red Rose as your father's experience reflects. Please accept our condolensces for your loss and we wish you and your family all the very best for the future.

My mum is in residential care at Red Rose Community. We, as a family, couldn't be happier with the standard of care she receives. Today, we celebrated her 95th birthday and the staff (2 in particular) went above and beyond to make sure we and mum all enjoyed it. The immaculate room we'd been given was beautifully decorated, the food provided was delicious and nothing was too much trouble. In July the activities team organised a seaside day for residents, it was such a success! Mum was given ice creams and doughnuts and even we felt we were at the seaside!
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this review. We appreciate your comments and are thrilled to see that you are happy with the care we provide.

Mum has been a resident for almost 18 months at Red Rose Care Community. During this time she has had the very best care from all of the staff. Housekeepers, maintenance and care staff all take time to accommodate her wishes and laugh and joke with her. Today is Mum's 95th birthday, yesterday the home provided us with a room to celebrate with all of our family. Decorated beautifully with balloons, banners etc to enhance the room. Delicious food and a beautiful birthday cake. The activity coordinators go to great lengths to try and encourage and include Mum in all that is on offer. Mum is very happy, which is a great comfort to our family.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review of Red Rose Care Community. We have absolutely loved having your mum as part of the Red Rose family and how joyful it was to see her enjoying her birthday celebrations.

Our parents moved together to Red Rose in April 24 after many years of struggling at home with their advancing years and various health issues. Sadly my father (94) passed away this week and I just want to thank the care team for the genuine care shown to him during his last few weeks, in particular to the team lead who goes above and beyond and truly cares, we are so grateful and comforted to know they are being cared for by such lovely people, they are a credit to the home.
I appreciate that this is a difficult week for the family. I am grateful to you for taking the time to complete this review. I will pass on your kind words to the staff concerned.

Mum spent two years living at Red Rose and was extremely happy there. The care manager and all the staff were so kind, caring and professional, nothing was too much trouble and they all treated Mum with dignity and respect, she was very fond of them all. Mum looked forward to the organised activities which ranged from music, singing, crafts, baking and games, she loved all this. The home has a really happy atmosphere and as family visitors, we were all made welcome to join in with activities and celebrations. A big shout out and thank you to all at Red Rose for looking after Mum and caring for her the way you did.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write such a lovely review of Red Rose Care Community. We are very blessed with the quality of staff we employ and the wonderful attitude with which they approach their work.
Absolutely amazing care staff, always going above and beyond their care with my mum. The care home has a lovely atmosphere when you walk in and looks lovely and clean. They put some good activities on which Mum enjoys.

If I ever have to go into care Red Rose would be my first choice. They are really excellent there. The staff really are worth their weight in gold, more than any politician.

My brother has been at the Red Rose Care Home since last April 2023. As I live over 200 miles away this was my first visit. The home was clean, bright and had a pleasant atmosphere. The staff appeared very considerate and caring. My brother was in good spirits and being looked after very well. He has severe physical limitations and the staff cope with his lack of mobility very well.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete a review. The internet has become such an important tool as a forum to show what a positive experience being in a very good care home can be. We have a unique staff set at Red Rose, and Red Homes generally, who are passionate about the care we provide.
Staff are caring and compassionate with lots of patience and experience in supporting elderly people. Mum is treated well and likes all of the staff in her unit, the Brockton unit. She has some high demands regarding her medication and despite this not always convenient for the staff, they listen...
The room is fairly small but has a height adjustable bed and call bell, staff respond quickly.
The environment is homely and very warm with three lounges and a lounge that visitors can go to with Mum. Staff make visitors welcome with biscuits and a coffee.
There is a range of activities to encourage interaction, some physical activity and encourage processing such as quizzes and bingo. Outside singers etc also visit. All activities take place in the home.
We are very happy with the care mum receives. I suggested more fresh fruit after a questionnaire went out and believe this is on offer even if Mum makes the less healthy choice of cake.
Thank you for taking the time to complete this review. I do hope your mum continues to enjoy her time with us.
The care my mother receives is excellent, she often tells me how well she is looked after. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming, they treat her with care, dignity and respect. We are kept well informed of any health issues she may have.

What a lovely review of Red Rose Care Community. Thank you so much.
The care that my relative received at Red Rose was excellent. The staff were so helpful and caring, nothing was too much trouble and treated our relative with dignity and respect. The staff work so hard to provide a high level of service and cannot be praised enough. Thank you.

Wow. What a home. Clean. Well-equipped and from the very beginning, this home has been wonderful for my grandmother. They go above and beyond. My grandmother is very very happy. A world away from how she was when she first came to the home. Everyone cares so much for her. Thank you.

Thank you so much for such a positive review. The staff were thrilled to read your comments and we are thrilled to see how well your mum is enjoying life at Red Rose.
My nanny is very well looked after in a lovely facility, her room is spacious and she is always smiling and singing. They helped us celebrate her 94th birthday today, providing a cake and afternoon tea (sandwiches, hot drinks and juice) for all the family. It made her day extra special!

We thoroughly enjoyed the birthday celebrations. A special day for a special lady.
My mother transferred to Red Rose Care Community for residential care in July 2022 to be nearer to family, she was 97 years old at the time. From the start, the staff made my mother and her family welcome. Her room was always clean and comfortable and there were comfortable lounges for a change of...
Of more importance are the staff. The family felt at all times that my mother was well cared for. The staff were always pleasant and respectful. They made sure she was well fed, clean, well dressed and that her medication was administered properly. We were particularly grateful to the senior staff who ensured excellent care for my mother in her final 36 hours of life. They provided a level of comfort to my mother which could not possibly be matched in hospital for which we will always be grateful.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this review. The staff at Red Rose are incredibly dedicated and caring and it is a privilege to work alongside such a professional team.
I am so pleased my mother is happy and well cared for at Red Rose Care Community. The staff are so helpful and friendly and caring! They do what they can to make things happen!

I live in East Sussex and don't get to see my mother very often, so I rely on the phone to speak to her, quite often she doesn't hear it or leaves it in her room, but the staff help me to speak to her, by passing the phone to her when I call Red Rose, which is excellent!
Thank you so much for taking the time to write a review for Red Rose Care Community. Please do continue to give our staff and management feedback if there is anything we can do to further improve the care we provide for your mother.
All residents look happy and always smiling, which says it all. Staff are friendly and caring and are there to listen. The home is bright, clean and very welcoming.

Lots of activities to keep them amused. My mother loves a little tipple and they always make sure she has it in the evening, which is important to keep her routine. I know she is being well cared for.

A clean, modern and above all friendly home. The staff have treated my father with care, compassion and dignity. In my opinion, any home stands and falls by the way staff treat the residents and all the staff greet visitors in a friendly manner and help my father when asked. I am confident that the nursing staff will always place my father's needs as a priority and that is all I could ask for.
Thank you so much for taking the time to complete this review. Family feedback is so important for us to ensure we manage a professional and caring care home.

I went to see a lady on the Brockton Court unit, who I previously cared for, within her own home. She appeared to be in good health and happy. The cleanliness of her room and bathroom was excellent, and they were also spacious. It appears that the staff are very friendly, and nothing seems to be too much trouble for them. There is a very homely feeling at Brockton Court. A bit like a trip down memory lane, they have paintings on the walls and a window displaying items from many years ago. Was really nice to see. A variety of lounge areas to welcome visitors to spend time with their loved ones. The care home seems very friendly and welcoming to me. All the service users seem to be socializing and laughing among themselves. The environment seems really posative.
Thank you so much for taking the time to review Red Rose. The staff are literally incredible at the home; the hours they work, the meticulous approach to creating a clean and caring environment. Thank you so much for recognising their endeavours. And I am so pleased to hear that your friend sounds so settled and happy.

I began my nursing career in Romania as a Registered General Nurse, working in hospital settings and as a nursing teacher. In April 2016, I moved to the UK, bringing with me a deep passion for caring for others and making a real difference in people's lives.
Over the past nine years, I have advanced within the care sector, progressing from Registered General Nurse to Senior RGN-Unit Manager and Infection Control Lead. Since joining Red Rose Care Community in August 2025, I have continued to lead with enthusiasm and a commitment to excellence.
I feel honoured to work as the General Manager, allowing me to do what I love most: being at the heart of our community and collaborating with both residents and the team. I am dedicated to delivering person-centred care, where the comfort, dignity, and happiness of every resident truly matter. I thrive on positive collaboration with our multidisciplinary team and deeply value the relationships I build with residents, their families, and my colleagues.
My goal is to ensure that our residents' quality of life is always at its highest level and that their needs are fully met in a warm, caring environment where everyone feels valued and supported.

I began my nursing career in my home country, where I qualified with a passion for caring and a commitment to making a difference. Over the past 32 years, I’ve worked across diverse healthcare settings, gaining experience that has shaped me into a resilient, adaptable, and compassionate professional.
My journey has strengthened my clinical skills, deepened my understanding of patient needs, and helped me grow into a supportive and confident leader. I’ve always valued teamwork, open communication, and creating an environment where colleagues feel empowered to do their best work.
Stepping into the Interim Deputy Manager role is an important milestone for me. I bring a global perspective, strong clinical judgement, and a leadership style grounded in integrity and collaboration. My goals are to strengthen team culture, enhance residents’ experience, and uphold the highest standards of safety and quality.
I am proud of the path that brought me here, and I am committed to leading with purpose, compassion, and a clear vision for continuous improvement.
