I have loved my stay wish it could have been longer. I hope to be able to come back in the future
Thank you so much for lovely review. We all miss you, and hope to see you again in the future. Take care.
Communication between staff and relatives poor. Housekeeping poor. Room not cleaned very often.
Thank you for taking the time to leave a review and for speaking with me personally regarding your experience. I was sorry to learn that your overall impression of Rokewood Court did not reflect the high standards of care and service that we strive to provide. We appreciate all feedback from...
My dad has been a resident for 4 months and is very pleased with the care he is receiving. All staff are welcoming, and the care plan in place is perfect. The food is amazing with a very extensive menu to choose from. Would highly recommend Rokewood Court. The well-being and lifestyle daily activities are amazing and very well organised and supported.
Thank you for your kind words. Your dad is an amazing gentleman and we love supporting him here at Rokewood Court. I will be sure to pass your positive comments on to the team.
Excellent facilities, friendly and efficient staff. Always a nice welcome from reception staff. Great menu every day.
Thanks for taking the time to give us such a lovely review. I look forward to sharing your feedback with the rest of the team.
I had not been to a care home before, so I didn't know what to expect. Wasn't disappointed in any way. Everyone I came in contact with was very kind and helpful.
Thank you for your kind words. I will share your feedback with the team. We hope to see you again in the future.
All staff are friendly and accommodating, nothing is too much trouble for them. Information is always forthcoming from the nurses about Mum's health.
Thanks for taking the time to review us. Your mum is a wonderful character. We are pleased that she has settled in so well.
Mum has been a resident for four years. During that time she has been extremely well looked after. She is very much treated as an individual, with all staff using her name. A lot of time is taken to meet her needs and my sister and I are delighted we found Rokewood.
Thank you for your kind words. It is a pleasure to care for your mum and we are so happy she is enjoying life at Rokewood Court. I will pass your lovely feedback on to the team.
The carers and all staff at Rokewood Court are really professional, pleasant and helpful and supportive. During the decision-making process, when choosing a care home for my aunt, who has moved up from Devon to live near me, I visited many other care homes in the area, and I am more than happy with the choice we made as it far outstrips the others in many areas - comfort and ambience being top of the list. Whenever I mention to friends that my aunt is living at Rokewood Court they are truly impressed.
Thank you so much for your kind words and positive feedback. We are delighted that both you and your aunt are happy with Rokewood Court. She is a wonderful lady and is much loved by all of the team.
He came back happy and refreshed.
His room was very nice and quiet but too warm for him! The allocated carer was very nice and attentive. Lawrence would love to come back sometime!
I am pleased to hear that Lawrence had a great Christmas with us. We are looking forward to welcoming him back in the future. Thanks for taking the time to review Lawrence's experience.
Mum really enjoyed her short respite stay at Rokewood. We could relax as we were confident she was in good hands. She is looking forward to her next stay as she felt so well looked after. She also made new friends! Not bad for 90!
We are really pleased that your mum had a good stay with us. Hopefully, we will see her again in the new year.
My confidence and trust that there are care homes that really do care and provide competent and consistent levels of assistance has been rejuvenated. I am so grateful for the friendly, supportive environment and everyone who contributes to that.
Thank you for entrusting us with your wonderful father's care, at a particularly difficult time. We are very grateful for your kind words, which will be passed on to the whole team. Take care.
Mum stayed for 2 weeks respite care at Rokewood Court. Arrangements for admission were smooth. She settled in well after an initial bumpy couple of days. She enjoyed the good and company. Carers were respectful, and the other staff cleaning and catering were lovely and always used her name and chatted to her. Overall, a good experience.
Thanks for reviewing mum's stay with us. She was an absolute delight. We hope she will come and stay with us again in the future.
I cannot speak highly enough of the care and immaculate service provided by Rokewood Court Care Home. The attention and compassion shown to my mum, who has a unique condition involving both MS and dementia, has gone far beyond anything I could have hoped for. The management and care team have not only gone above and beyond for my mum, but have also extended genuine care and support to me as well. Their professionalism, empathy, and dedication have made a profound difference in both of our lives. I'm deeply grateful.
Thank you for your kind words. Your dedication to your mother is inspirational. We are all so pleased with how well your mum has settled in. Her improvement is amazing! It is also nice to see that you can finally relax in the knowledge that your mum is being fully supported.
The staff are always friendly and welcoming (everyone says hello as you walk by), caring and professional. From senior carers to admin staff to Reception, we have had a wonderful experience. I would highly recommend Rokewood Court if you need a care home for a relative. It feels like a hotel with care if you need it. This has been a great transition from having carers at home. And the food looks amazing! A safe and secure environment with very supportive staff. Any questions or queries dealt with quickly and efficiently.
Thank you for entrusting us with your lovely mother's care. I know that moving her from her home was a difficult decision to make. We are delighted that she has settled in so well.
Very satisfied with expertise, friendliness, patience of carers. Always allows me to leave resident behind in the confidence she is in safe and caring hands.
Thanks so much for the kind words. Your wife is a valued member of our community here at Rokewood Court. We will pass your feedback on to the care team.
All the staff have been really supportive and kind to me whilst I was considering a care home for my mother. This has been the best decision I have made during quite a difficult time. My mother is much happier and less anxious than she was at home. We have no hesitation in recommending Rokewood Court to others.
We are so pleased to hear that your mother has settled in well at Rokewood Court. Thank you for your kind words. I will pass your positive feedback on to the care team.
From walking through the front entrance into reception the atmosphere is very friendly and obviously very professional. From receptionists, to carers who attend to everyday matters to the senior care teams. Looking after our more medical requirements you are able to get quality answer to many questions with a smile altogether a very good team.
Thank you for your lovely review. We will pass your positive comments on to the team members at Rokewood Court.
Such a relief to know that my relative is happy, safe, and looked after so well. The food is lovely, always cakes and biscuits in the cafe area, and the gardens are beautifully kept! Thank you.
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're thrilled to hear that you feel welcomed and that your relative is happy and well cared for. Our team takes great pride in creating a warm, family-like atmosphere, and we're glad you've experienced this firsthand. Your feedback about the food, gardens, and overall care means the world to us. Thank you for sharing!
I stayed at Rokewood Court Care Home for two weeks from Thursday 19 September to Wednesday 2 October 2024 for respite care after a rotator cuff repair operation. I needed personal care (showering, hairwashing, dressing) which I was very nervous about but the kind and helpful carers made the daily experience a pleasant one. The care home was clean and friendly and well-designed for comfort. Too many to name but everyone from the managers to the cooks, carers and other staff made my 2 weeks a happy time.
Thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to look after you and we are so happy that your operation was a success and you recovered so well. Please come and see us for a coffee and a chat whenever you are passing.
She enjoys the entertainment and it is lovely to see her joining in with clapping and waving her arms.
From the moment I enter the reception, I am always made to feel so welcome. The environment creates such a positive and comforting atmosphere.
Everyone is incredibly helpful and goes out of their way to assist me.
Thank you for all that you do.
Thank you so much for your kind words. They mean everything to our wonderful staff. It is our pleasure to look after such a wonderful lady.

General Manager – Residential Care Home
As the General Manager of Rokewood Court, I lead with purpose, compassion, and an unwavering commitment to excellence. My role is to ensure every resident feels safe, respected, and truly at home. I oversee all aspects of the home’s operations—from nurturing a high-performing team to upholding the highest standards of care—so families can rest assured their loved ones are in capable, caring hands.
My Experience
With a career dedicated to care home management, I bring deep expertise in person-centred care and team leadership. I’ve worked closely with residents, families, and staff to create environments where dignity, empathy, and well-being are at the heart of everything we do. I’m passionate about developing my team, fostering a culture of kindness and professionalism, and ensuring every resident receives both the practical support and emotional connection they deserve. Helping people live fulfilling, comfortable lives isn’t just my job—it’s my calling.
About Me
Away from work, I’m a devoted family person and a lover of travel and creativity. I find joy in drawing and caring for my lively household of pets—including Simba the cat, Gonzo the tortoise, and a flock of cheerful chickens. They remind me daily of the importance of warmth, character, and connection—values I bring into the home I manage.

I qualified as a teacher in 2005, but my path changed in 2012 when I came to the UK and started working in the care sector as a care assistant. I have experience in both nursing and residential care homes which enabled me to gain more in-depth knowledge of differing care needs. I’m a great believer that no two residents are the same and that each has differing needs, desires and preferences.
I have developed through training and practice and besides being a care assistant, I have been an activity coordinator, and a team leader and I currently have over 3 years of experience as a Deputy Manager.
My biggest achievement to date has been occupying a position as Acting Manager in my previous workplace. It was a very rewarding position, full of new challenges from which I have learnt a lot and gained a good understanding of the management role in a care home which I look forward to bringing to Rokewood Court. I am currently working on my Leadership and Management level 5 Diploma, and I am using every opportunity to share my experience with the team and to get involved in our resident's care. I am very passionate about elderly and Dementia care which I aim to pass on to the rest of the team. The reason I started working with Rokewood Court and Cinnamon Care Collection is that we are all united and share the same values: passion, dedication and respect. I look forward to meeting you.

What I Do
I help families and potential residents navigate the deeply personal and often emotional journey of considering a care home for their loved ones. With empathy and professionalism, I provide guidance, answer questions, and offer reassurance during what can be an overwhelming time. I consider it a true privilege to support people through such significant life decisions.
My Experience
Before my current role, I worked at Eden Court in Battersea for Cinnamon Care Collection, where I had the opportunity to support families and residents in a care home setting, further developing my understanding of the emotional and practical considerations involved in choosing the right care environment.
Before entering the care sector, I worked as a sales consultant in luxury senior living in London. This experience helped me develop strong communication skills, a deep understanding of people’s needs during transitional life stages, and the ability to guide clients through complex, often sensitive decisions — all of which have transferred into my current role.
About me
Outside of work, I love spending time with friends and family, exploring new places, and making the most of any opportunity to travel. These moments keep me grounded and remind me why human connection is at the heart of everything I do.

I am the Lead Wellbeing & Lifestyle Coordinator at Rokewood Court, Kenley. I am responsible for putting together a timetable of activities and events for residents covering everything from physical, social, experimental, emotional/spiritual, creative/artistic, therapeutic and sensory activities.
I spent 37 years working as a library supervisor for the Borough of Croydon, where I managed teams at the Central Library and its 12 branches. I am a singer/songwriter/performer and have had a 35 year career performing in theatres and concert halls, having released 4 original albums of self-penned songs (all available on Spotify). I am a book author and have written and published 7 non-fiction books on everything from religion to history and biography. I am a recipient of the Diocese of Southwark’s Bishop’s Certificate and have been on Pilgrimage to the Holy Land.
I am married (23 years ago in Liverpool) and have girl/boy twins now age 16. I love good food and fine wine, good comedy and great music.

WHAT I DO
I specialise in creating refined, nutritionally balanced culinary experiences that combine the vibrant flavours of the Mediterranean with the precise dietary requirements of our residents. My approach transforms fresh, seasonal ingredients into elegant, health-focused cuisine that celebrates both nourishment and the pleasure of dining. Every dish is thoughtfully designed to be visually striking and deeply flavourful.
MY EXPERIENCE
With over seven years of experience in the luxury care home sector, I have developed strong expertise in high-end hospitality. My culinary foundation is deeply influenced by the rich food traditions of Albania and Greece, where I cultivated a profound respect for authentic Mediterranean techniques and ingredients.This heritage enables me to bring a distinctive sophistication to professional kitchens, while consistently upholding rigorous standards of nutrition, food safety, and dietary compliance. I am experienced in catering to those with diverse clinical needs, without compromising on creativity, flavour, or presentation.
ABOUT ME
Born in Albania and raised in Greece, I bring the warmth, generosity, and hospitality of the Balkans into every kitchen I lead. I firmly believe that exceptional food is fundamental to well-being, particularly within a care environment.Beyond my professional work, I am passionate about preserving heritage recipes and continuously exploring innovative ways to harmonize traditional Mediterranean flavour with contemporary fine-dining techniques.

What I do
I am the Hospitality Supervisor here at Rokewood Court. I am responsible for ensuring that our residents have an enjoyable dining experience and that they receive exceptional customer service. I also help to look after our busy Lancaster Cafe and make our lounge areas a pleasant place to relax in.
My experience
I have worked in many roles within the hospitality industry. I was Hospitality Manager at HM Treasury for 5 years, overseeing events at Downing Street. I also worked as an Assistant Conference Manager at Morgan Stanley in Canary Wharf. Earlier in my career, I worked at Addington Palace. This beautiful historic venue hosted elaborate weddings and parties.
About Me
Outside of work, I am a busy mum to 5 beautiful girls. I spend a lot of my time driving them around to various clubs and social activities! In between this and work, I really enjoy meeting my friends for coffee, and I am partial to an occasional spa day. I also love listening to music and playing the piano.
