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.

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.
