Mum has been in Rokewood now for 7 weeks. The staff have been so lovely and patient with her while she has been settling in. Nothing is too much trouble. The home is beautiful and you are always made to feel welcome whilst visiting. Mum is cared for very well.
Thank you Shaena for your kind words. It is our pleasure to look after such an amazing lady.
Our mum moved into Rokewood in July 2024. We cannot thank the staff enough for all that they have done to help her settle and also for the continuous support they gave us during this journey. It was a hard decision to move her from her home to a care home, but it is definitely the right place. We are made to feel very welcome all the time we go in and nothing is too much of a problem. Mum is always clean with fresh clothes on and her room is beautiful. We were able to take in items from her home and put up pictures on the walls. Thank you Rokewood, we can now relax knowing that our mum is in a safe, caring and wonderful home.
From the point of entry to departure, he felt safe (paramount), well cared for and happy.
Staff were present when needed and all were very happy in their roles. His room was lovely though as a wheelchair user, I think the next visit would mean less furniture needed so his wheelchair could navigate the room if required though he managed to walk around the furniture during his stay. Having access to all TV streaming services was a plus, a nice outlook and swift access to the coffee area to meet visitors, the lovely restaurant area and the reception. Friends and family could visit easily and enjoy the area. There was plenty of activities to take part in if he wanted to. Well definitely utilise Rokewood again. A very well-managed home that I would recommend. Thank you Rokewood.
Thank you for your kind words. It was our pleasure to look after your husband and we look forward to seeing you again in the future.
Mum was diagnosed with dementia about five years ago and spent some time having drop-in care and then a live-in carer. A couple of years ago we decided that it was time for her to move to a home close to where she lived (so that her friends could visit her). She was happy at Rokewood and was being well looked after. The staff all knew how she was and clearly took time to keep her cheerful.
The staff are all so friendly and kind and really make you feel at ease when visiting.
Rokewood Court is beautifully kept, clean and tidy with great amenities and offers a broad selection of activities for the residents to participate in.
I would highly recommend it.
I can’t recommend this care home highly enough! Having visited a lot of homes which simply make me feel quite depressed upon leaving, Rokewood Court is the first home that fills you with a sense of calm and happiness. Upon arrival, the home appears more like a luxury hotel and has a lovely well-kept garden. The staff are amazing and so friendly and welcoming. You can see they go the extra mile for every resident. Having spoken to other visitors when there, everyone seems in agreement that this home is far superior to others in the area. Keep up the good work Rokewood Court!
Beautiful surroundings, the home itself is fantastic and like a 5 star hotel.
The staff are very warm, welcoming and attentive.
The food is absolutely gorgeous.
A very welcoming reception and cafe area. The staff are all excellent at providing a high standard of care and encourage our family member to participate in daily activities.
I have visited many homes and haven't found any as lovely as this one. The staff are very genuine and friendly and caring, especially to residents. I feel like the home really thinks about all the details to make life easier for its residents. As you enter, the whole place is tastefully decorated. The food and choices are also excellent. I honestly don't think you'd find a better home!
This is in a fabulous home. The staff are patient and kind on the facilities excellent. The staff involve the residents' personal interactions and needs.
Rokewood Court is a purpose built care home in lovely quiet surroundings and we chose it by recommendation from a resident's family. The staff are always welcoming and happy to update you and answer any questions about the residents. They organise really good and very varied activities - some in the home and some out and about - which debunks the usual perception of care homes with people sitting round in a circle doing nothing. The rooms are very nicely decorated and furnished - it looks more like a hotel than a care home. Residents are encouraged to live their best lives which is really important when you don't have the mental capacity or mobility to do things on your own. I would definitely recommend Rokewood to anyone looking for a care home.
Thank you for your kind words. It is our pleasure to look after your loved one. I will pass these on to the Rokewood Court team who will be delighted.
From being very apprehensive about entering Rokewood Court, I very quickly settled down to a very happy five weeks of respite care here! Everybody was extremely friendly, charming, helpful and always very respectful and professional. Without any doubt, I would have no hesitation in coming back here if the situation arose! And equally, I would have no hesitation in also recommending Rokewood Court to other people seeking an excellent care home in a beautiful place!
I am so glad that we chose Rokewood Court for my father. The excellent facilities are matched by the quality of care; friendly, personal, and very kind. In his first week, Dad has been on two outings and had a beautiful handmade birthday cake. He is very comfortable, settling in well and we enjoy our visits to see him. We are also looking forward to regular trips with him to the in-house cinema!
Thank you for your kind words. Your father is a pleasure to look after and we wish to thank you for joining the Rokewood family!
I came to visit my friend here on respite. What a beautiful home. Thought I was in a hotel and the staff were extremely welcoming. My friend was well looked after and particularly enjoyed the food. I am so pleased she has found a wonderful environment for the future.
I do love how friendly all the staff are and it's something mum comments on.
The facilities are outstanding and, having regular relatives and residents meetings means that people feel they have a channel of communication to discuss any issues.
We are very pleased we chose Rokewood Court for mum's care.
I would not hesitate to recommend Rokewood to anyone looking for dementia care. Thanks to all.
Thank you very much for taking time of think of us at this very difficult time for your family. We sincerely appreciate it.
I could not fault my stay at Rokewood Court. This was respite care for the duration of two weeks. The staff were very welcoming, always pleasant and efficient and my needs were very well catered for.I have always been a late riser and the house was happy for me to have my breakfast at a time of my choosing. The food was delicious and I even put on weight during my stay. The activities that were put on regularly were fun and stimulating. I would not hesitate to go back.
Thank you very much for your review. We look forward to welcoming you back soon.
My mother has now been a resident of Rokewood for nearly six months and I can't thank the staff enough for their amazing care. Mum has late-stage Dementia and I was initially worried as to how she would adapt to a new living environment. However, my first introduction to Rokewood was so warm and welcoming that I felt that this was the right choice for Mum. The whole process of arranging Mum's move to the home was extremely thorough and efficient and upon arrival, she was immediately put at ease by everyone. From day one she has received brilliant support and care and is encouraged to partake in daily activities which are always fun and interactive. We celebrated her birthday in November and everything was done by the team to make it a very special day. Top marks to the catering team for making such an exquisite birthday cake! Mum has a lovely room and her environment is safe and very homely. The staff bring out the best in Mum which, I know, can't always be easy. Thank you all so much.
Thank you very much for your review and kind words.
Very efficient and rapid organisation of respite care for my mother at very short notice. Very friendly and supportive welcome for my mother.
My sister and I came to Rokewood Court Care Home after a recommendation and every aspect has exceeded our expectations. The kindness, support and guidance we received has been amazing, the time given to get to know Mum has been extensive. The smile on Mum's face as she settled into her room was priceless.

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.
