My father moved into Rokewood in December 2021. They took a lot of care in understanding my father's needs and requirements, and all of the staff are very caring and considerate. The atmosphere is extremely friendly, and the home itself is spotlessly clean and beautifully furnished.
My mother has settled in extremely well and I am very happy with the progress being made. She has been made to feel very welcome and is enjoying the trips out, the entertainment and cinema room. I am very satisfied with the choice we have made.
Very satisfied with the care my mother has received so far. All staff I have encountered have been very friendly, approachable and accommodating. The care they provide is very personal to my mother and they have made efforts to get to know her on an individual basis. I am happy and relaxed knowing she is being taken good care of.
From the moment I made contact with the home, my experience was excellent. I know my mother is in a safe and happy place. The food and menu are good with lots of choices. The coffee shop is welcoming. A very nice touch is the cinema room with some great movies for the old folk.
I have been very impressed with how smooth the whole process was, from first chats on the phone to finally being allowed to view the home (due to Covid). The moving in day was seamless and planned to perfection - the admissions advisor kept us informed throughout and we even got an update with pictures that same afternoon. Since moving in I have seen a huge improvement with my relative being happier, calmer and more relaxed. I would not hesitate in recommending.
Thank you for your kind words and so pleased your dear friend is happy and settled. Kind regards, Jackie.
As the home is new all the rooms are nice and fresh-looking and she is glad to have her own wet room which is an added bonus.
We had to wait to get our dear friend into a home during lockdown so the home's admissions advisor's contact and advice during this time were regular and appreciated. We were concerned about the transition into the care home, but the admissions advisor and the staff made it seamless and well planned. Rokewood is definitely a luxury home - very clean, exceptionally well presented and well-thought-out with plenty of activities. Very pleased with our choice of home/staff and our friend is settled and happy.
I have always found Rokewood Court to be of an excellent standard with regards to all care aspects. My father is extremely happy there and is full of praise for the staff. Rokewood Court has always kept me updated with my father's progress and they carry out what they say they will do.
Gary, thank you very much for your compliments, it is greatly appreciated.
My wife spent a long time looking for a care home for her 90+ year old mother, and after much research decided on Rokewood Court. I must say that everything so far has exceeded our expectations. It certainly fits the description of a luxury care home and the facilities and food are what you would expect from a quality hotel. It was a major disruption for her mother, as she had lived in the same house for 40 years and is very independent-minded. They have gone to great lengths to settle her in and make her feel cared for and pampered. We would like to thank all the staff for all that they are doing to manage this difficult transition. This has clearly been a very difficult time for my wife. She was given a lot of helpful advice and support from the admissions advisor on care options and invaluable help on managing the move. The admissions advisor and the other staff have kept my wife well informed and reassured on progress. They clearly see it is important to support both residents and their family. Thank you!
Exceptional care home with fantastic facilities. The rooms are always immaculate. Staff are very friendly, welcoming and caring. The management team communicate regularly and efficiently to keep me informed. Would highly recommend.
I have been visiting at the home since November 2020 when she arrived there. Unfortunately, I have not been into the home due to Covid restrictions but the staff have enabled me to see from outside her room. Everyone I've met have been so friendly and helpful.
Thank you very much for your kind response, Amanda. The team at Rokewood Court will do their best to ensure their residents have regular contact with their family and friends.
All aspects of my contact and communication with staff at Rokewood Court have been excellent. I have been impressed with the way in which an assessment was carried out prior to the moving, in particular, to ensure all needs would be met. The care and organisation of the move. Communication from the staff to ensure I was informed/reassured that all was well. Extra touches such as flowers in the room and a photo of my relative was emailed to me on arrival day. The direct line to residents is excellent, and the reception desk is well managed so all immediate queries can be answered quickly. It seems nothing is too much trouble. Staff have been east to talk to, professional and always respond well/quickly to any question - most reassuring. Thank you.
Hello Jenny, thank you very much for your lovely words. It means a great deal to our team here at Rokewood Court.
My mother is fairly mobile and still has an active mind, so she was worried about moving into care. Now in her late 90's, she has suffered a few falls and needed a place of safety. Rokewood is everything she hoped it would be - good care, friendly staff, well-equipped room, excellent food and a chance to do more than just sit at home, falling asleep.
Hello Stephen, Thank you very much for your kind words. We are delighted that mum is living with us, what a wonderful lady! we truly appreciate that Rokewood Court was your care home of choice.
Best regards
Jackie
I have found the staff very helpful and pleasant. They are concerned that all is as wells as possible and the take time to talk when it is convenient. My room is bright, and although I have a wheelchair, they manage to move me so I can for lunch or group activity.
Rokewood Court care home is a beautiful place; it's a home from home environment. From the first minute you enter the building, you are greeted by happy, smiling staff who are willing to go that extra mile. A home is not just about the building; it's about the outstanding care and devotion to its residents. The employees are all personable people, the staff are very caring and passionate, always thinking outside the box making their job a true vocation.
Thank you very much for your kind and positive words. The team at Rokewood Court endeavour to do their best for their residents and we are delighted to know how your parents have settled down living at Rokewood Court.
My friend has been welcomed there with open arms. They made sure her stay will be as much like home as possible even suggesting photos of the family be brought in ready for her arrival day, the whole process was clearly explained and the day of the move went without a hitch. Since being there my friend has been treated impeccably and is clearly much happier. The set up with visits is lovely and easy which makes a massive difference. 5-star care home.
Thank you for a wonderful review, we continue to work hard showing dignity and respect to our residents and each other. Proud to be part of a great team.
I cannot recommend this home highly enough. The quality of staff and the standard of care and support provided is amazing. My neighbour has settled in very quickly, and in her own words, "really loves it". It is very reassuring to know that she is being so well cared for and so well stimulated with activities, fun and enjoyment. Thank you so much to all the wonderful staff at Rokewood.
What kind words, thank you very much. It is a 'whole team approach' that makes our residents feel happy, very well cared for and safe. A great team with amazing residents.
From the moment I saw the advertisement for Rokewood in 2019, I knew it was the right care home for my friend. She enjoyed the meeting with the staff who were assessing her, and they eventually did everything to assist with her moving in and since looking after her.
Thank you, we are delighted your dear friend is living with us at Rokewood Court. Kind regards.

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.
