Shaun Matthews
General Manager
Shaun Matthews
General Manager
I have worked in the care sector for the last 16 years. Started out as a care assistant and through various roles have worked to be in the position I am today. I have been a Home Manager for the last four years. Over the course of my career, I have worked in residential, nursing and domiciliary services. This has enabled me to gain a wealth of knowledge and provided me with the tools to ensure that our residents receive the very best care.
Outside of work, I am engaged to Katie, we have three children, two boys and a girl. I enjoy spending time with my family, cooking and reading.
Narcisa Muntean
Deputy Manager
Narcisa Muntean
Deputy Manager
What I do:
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 am a great believer in that no two residents are the same and that each have differing needs, desires and preferences.
My Experience:
I have developed through training and practice and besides being a care assistant, I have been an activity coordinator, a team leader and I currently have over 5 years 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 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 residents 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 am looking forward meeting you all.
About me:
I love travelling and trying different foods. I have a son who just turned one that keeps me busy and amazed each day. I love spending time with my family and seeing the little one grow.

Lindsay Massey
Activities Coordinator
Lindsay Massey
Activities Coordinator
What I Do:
I am responsible for organizing all activities, ensuring that all the residents and staff are fully engaged in this so we definitely have that whole home approach which means we all achieve more! .
Everyone’s hobbies are important to me not just the residents. I ensure that our activities program links preferences physically, psychologically, socially, spiritually, and individually. All this means that the residents overall wellbeing will be maximized and hopefully this means we all have fun.
A 1-to-1 chat over a cup of tea or coffee, with perhaps just a walk around the garden could be a favorite activity for one resident, whilst a good old group sing-along could be for another. So, making sure I get to know the residents is paramount. They all have lived through difficult times within history and have amazing life stories to tell.
My Experience:
Following school, I went to work at Legal & General and stayed there for 27 years in a variation of offices and roles from Regional Administrator, Credit Controller, PA to Directors the list goes on. Following redundancy in 2006 I decided that I wanted to be more involved with people rather than just a process, so I started teaching exercise sessions at Sunrise this lead to me becoming Office Administrator, followed by Activities Co-Ordinator.
I was then asked to help commission a new home for Porthaven Care and became the equivalent of Cinnamons Home Admissions Administrator which I enjoyed for nearly 2 years. However, I never gave up my love of exercise and decided when my Father died and Mum moved in with us to go back to teaching pilates and paracise and also try and embrace life in my local community which is Kenley where Rokewood Court is, having truthfully missed being involved in care I was lucky to return to Activities Co-Ordinator role here at Rokewood. A local lass doing a job she loves.
About Me:
I am happily married with two grown up boys both of whom have lovely girlfriends who spend a lot of time with us. My Mother moved in with us two years ago following 20 years caring for my Father, and prior to that 25 years caring for her Mother, so care is in the genes.
I love spending time with my husband and family, keeping fit, reading, walking the dog, gardening, travel (when COVID allows it) I am also lucky to have a wonderful circle of friends with whom I bike ride, walk, have a book club with and our special WI equivalent! Baking, entertaining, driving, visiting National Trusts.
