Our Ethos
About Roxana Negrea…
My career in health and social care began in 2010 when I chose to study Sociology and Social Work. I’ve always been passionate about understanding society’s evolving needs and combining social services with research to address future challenges. This passion led me to pursue a Master’s degree in Intelligence Analysis, which became a crucial foundation for my current role, helping me better understand societal vulnerabilities and assess the quality of care services.
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve gained extensive experience in balancing compassionate, person-centred care with strong leadership and clinical understanding. Working in both nursing homes and residential care settings, I realised how vital clinical knowledge is for truly meeting residents’ needs and delivering outstanding care.
After qualifying as a nurse, I explored the hospital environment and contributed to meaningful healthcare projects across the UK. These included placements at Mount Vernon Hospital, Hillingdon Hospital, and Harefield Hospital, where I conducted my dissertation research in cardiology and the transplant sector.
My combined experience in both the public and private sectors has allowed me to build valuable partnerships between private care providers and NHS services across various boroughs.
Today, I am honoured to serve as Home Manager at Kingfishers. I am dedicated to leading our home toward achieving an Outstanding rating by adhering to CQC regulations, complying with all relevant legislation, and following our nursing home policies with the best interests of residents and their families in mind.
I am particularly passionate about dementia care and supporting complex nursing needs within adult care. Every day presents new challenges that inspire me and my team to strive for excellence. With over a decade of commitment to care, I believe Kingfishers is not just a care home, it’s a place to live well, make lasting memories, and spend the later years of life surrounded by compassion, dignity, and love, while receiving the highest quality of care.
