My father transferred to Red Rose form another home at the beginning of October. We are as a family very pleased with his care. He is far more settled now than at his previous home. Dad enjoys the activities and joins in with everything.

Red Rose is a nice clean and tidy care home. Staff are very friendly and polite. They keep Dad cleanly dressed and tidy. Did have a few issues with his shaving but has been solved now. Food seems to be improving with a choice on the menu. They are now sourcing local produce which is great!

Red Rose is the best dementia choice of placement for my wife as far as I am concerned and the new management is immediately responsive. I am the chairman of a Dementia Carers Group.

Current Review Score: 9.5 (9.453)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.5 (9.453) out of 10 for Red Rose Care Community is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  1. The Average Rating is 4.8 out of 5 from 11 Reviews in the last 24 months.
  2. The score for the number of positive Reviews is 4.6 out of 5 from 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  1. 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months. The Average Rating of 4.832 for Red Rose Care Community is calculated as follows: ( (112 Excellents x 5) + (17 Goods x 4) + (1 Satisfactorys x 3) + (1 Poors x 2) ) ÷ 131 Ratings = 4.832
  2. 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5'). The 4.621 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Red Rose Care Community is based on 11 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    1. 4 points are available for the first 20 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews, 0.05 Points for the next five Positive Reviews, and finally 0.025 Points for the next ten Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.050, 7th = 0.050, 8th = 0.050, 9th = 0.050, 10th = 0.050, 11th = 0.025, 12th = 0.025, 13th = 0.025, 14th = 0.025, 15th = 0.025, 16th = 0.025, 17th = 0.025, 18th = 0.025, 19th = 0.025, 20th = 0.025) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.05 + 0.025 = 3.775
    2. 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 65 registered maximum number of service users is 13. 11 Positive Reviews ÷ 13 = 0.846
  3. When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.
  4. If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Mirela Banu

Job Title: General Manager Joined: 2026

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.
