Over all time Rokewood Court has 78 reviews.
From the initial phone call to settling Mum into the home, all aspects of administration have been handled very well. The admissions advisor immediately understood what we were looking for and how we wanted Mum to be cared for. The staff were all so welcoming and made Mum the centre of attention which comforted us, knowing we made the right decision to make Rokewood Court Care Home her new home. Her smile on her face says it all!
Thank you very much for the lovely feedback. Much appreciated.
This is very good and I would recommend Rokewood Court.
Thank you very much for your review. We appreciate it.
Younger team members at night were a bit abrupt with me as my speed of thought and reaction is slow due to Parkinson's. Otherwise, I enjoyed my stay.
It was very secure there, but there were also options for dad to join in activities inside and outside the care home. Really excellent care.
Very enjoyable. The staff have been very attentive, and the food has been excellent. The staff who plan the activities do a fantastic job.
My mother never wanted to go to a care home but has settled in very well and loves her surroundings. I found the whole process easy and the admissions manager very helpful. All the staff are so kind and caring and I do not have any worries, if I have to go away I know she will be well cared for. Mum celebrated a special birthday within the first two weeks of arriving and the staff organised a wonderful party for us and residents, thank you.
The staff are very kind and helpful.
This was the second time that my aunt had decided to have respite care at Rokewood Court. The Admissions Advisor responded quickly to my email about the availability of rooms for my aunt and they also arranged for her to go in very quickly. Prior to her stay, a thorough assessment was conducted to ensure that all her needs would be met, including likes and dislikes. On arrival at Rokewood Court staff put her immediately at ease; my aunt is always anxious when it comes to leaving her home these days due to her Alzheimer’s and Vascular Dementia. On the two occasions that my aunt has stayed at Rokewood Court, she has told me that she cannot find fault with anything. She feels cared for and safe. She has never mentioned anything negative. All of this is very reassuring for me as I live a long way away from my aunt and I am often abroad. When my aunt is at Rokewood Court, I know that she is in safe hands and is happy.
My father has been a resident at Rokewood Court since Nov 21. His condition has sadly deteriorated but the care and compassion shown by the team of carers have given his family total reassurance that, in these difficult times, he is in the very best place for this stage of his illness. His medical needs have been very well met but, as importantly, he has been treated with respect and dignity, the interaction of carers with our family has been so very supportive and goes well beyond their job description. The team are upbeat, cheerful and attentive but above all their understanding and interaction with dad is constant, despite his complex needs. We are extremely impressed with the Deputy Manager who has repeatedly demonstrated her commitment to encouraging feedback, improve services and provide excellent levels of care for both residents and their families. The manager has ensured that paths of communication to her office are always open and she regularly visits dad.
The Manager and Home Admissions Advisor provided the most thorough admissions/home assessment procedure I have come across and I have had the experience of going through several other home care admission processes/protocols. The only improvement that I think could improve the process is a one pager that recommends/suggests what residents should or should not bring in terms of belongings when they move in and the request to deliver these prior to moving in so that they can be labelled. Sadly my mother has dementia and whilst she agreed to move in - she changed her mind and she moved out less than 24 hours later.
We have used this care home several times for respite care for my Mum. She has always been made to feel most welcome and is positive about her stay. The facilities are excellent and she has enjoyed plenty of trips out and joined in with activities in the home. The staff are very kind and caring and I would highly recommend it
I am a short-stay resident but from the very first time I set my eyes on Rokewood Court, I have been pleased with my choice. The fixtures, fittings and furniture seem of the highest quality and so is the quality and the lovely variety of the food. The management and staff are courteous and friendly. So much at home after a few days, I felt that I am among friends. One minor disappointment I came here hoping to lose some weight. I failed miserably.
It's been wonderful to know dad has been at such a fantastic home. I've been able to relax knowing that the staff have been so lovely to him. He has really enjoyed the food and staff. His room is always so clean and well maintained. If dad needs respite again or a long stay we will most definitely be coming back.
Her personal needs are catered to very professionally. We are confident that she is monitored and treated for any medical conditions, and she loves the pampering and hairdressing appointments (a highlight!)
She enjoys meeting other residents for morning coffee, and for meals in the dining room. And she definitely appreciates the aperitifs now on offer.
Rokewood Staff provides wonderful entertainment and celebrations (Mum's last Birthday Party was superbly catered, thanks Chef and team!).
The Activities Coordinator and her team do a fabulous job, with a great range of fun events.
Mum's accommodation is lovely and comfortable, surrounded as she is with her personal belongings. I am in Australia, so rely on news and photos from family members, and also the Facebook posts, which mum's friends and family can enjoy and comment on.
Thanks, Rokewood!
Have been a resident for just over a year. Lovely room and the staff team is excellent although challenged to maintain good care due to staffing levels. No manager for a couple of months and a new Deputy - so difficult to comment on management.
Very good quality fittings and furnishing complete with helpful staff. Good communication with management. Mum is made very welcome.
I have found the carers to be kind and caring. When I have raised an issue, such as my husband has not been shaved, they have acted to remedy the problem.
Carers are kind and helpful despite having a tough job, especially with staff shortages and covid etc. In an ideal world, there would be more staff with more time for one to one conversations with residents but most have made an effort to get to know mum. She seems fairly settled. Our concerns have been minor ones - hearing aids not checked and clothes going missing. This has been easily rectified as we visit so regularly. We hope she will socialise more now and be able to get more fresh air. Thanks for all you do.
My mother in law has been a resident at Rokewood Court for at least eight months. Her care, dignity and well being has been the most important part of being a resident here at Rodewood Court. The staff here are exceptional nothing is too much trouble. Her carers are kind, compassionate and hard-working. We so appreciate their hard work and caring ways giving us the comfort of knowing she is in very capable and safe hands. Thank you.
Rokewood Court is a lovely home. It is very reassuring to know that Mum is being well cared for by extremely friendly, efficient and caring staff and that she is living in a safe and very comfortable environment. I feel very welcome every time I visit and nothing is too much trouble. I highly recommend Rokewood Court.

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.
