Roses Homecare became an independent care agency in 2007. It all started by accident when Roselyn Stewart began taking personal requests from people to administer their care. Although Roselyn was working for other agencies, services users complained when they would allocate their visits to other staff. They missed Roselyn’s personal touch and compassionate ear. Service users also commented on how Roselyn became more than a carer to them, she was more like an allay with a smiling face and plenty of jokes and banter to make them feel better. The increase in direct payments meant service users would move especially for her.

As she began to fulfill these requests and word spread about how different she was Roselyn soon found herself in a position of having to recruit more carers to keep up with the work. Now Roselyn is focusing on training and development of carers that have that special quality she has. She is big on spotting talent and developing them to be great carers and that’s what distinguishes Roses from the rest.
