Meet the Manager
Dionne Pearson,
Leighton Rose Manager
With over 20 years of nursing experience, I began my journey in the Royal Air Force as part of the Princess Mary’s Royal Air Force Nursing Service. The values instilled in me during my training -discipline, compassion, and dedication – continue to shape my approach to care today.
For the past 19 years, I have devoted myself to the management of nursing homes, driven by a deep passion for elderly care. To me, these are not just workplaces – they are the homes of the people we have the privilege to support. My mission is to ensure that every resident receives the dignity, respect, and quality of life they deserve.
I have a particular commitment to providing compassionate end-of-life care, ensuring comfort and peace in a person’s final moments. More than that, I believe in creating meaningful opportunities for people in their later years, fostering an environment where they can continue to thrive, engage, and feel valued.
Caring for others is not just my profession – it is my calling.

Meet the team
Anas Al Saadi
Chef Manager
We are pleased to introduce our Chef Manager, Anas.
Anas culinary career began in 1990 as a Chef Assistant in one Iraq’s 5-star hotels.
After graduating from University with a Bachelor of Science in Hotel Management, he opened his own restaurant, and after two years, moved to Jordan to further develop his skills.
Anas lectured in hotel management and kitchen management for 5 years, and authored different books in hotel business in Arabic and English.
Moving to Dubai he worked as a Food and Beverage Manager at the 5-star hotel Alshareia, Branch Manager for the Chinese Dragon and at the GSCS International Company as a Catering Manager.
After Dubai, Anas moved to Dublin and managed some of the local restaurants. Here he won a competition by sharing his experience in the Hospitality Industry within his book, ‘Home Of The Flavour.’
Anas then moved to London manage 5-star restaurants in Earls Court and Soho and for the past eight years, has worked in Care Homes as a Head Chef Development Manager.
Anas’ friends like to call him ‘Ratatouille’ because he creates such delicious food – the secret of which he believes ‘starts from the heart of the chef and continues its journey with the customer, creating satisfaction.’
With a Finalist Award at the Great British Care/Chef Awards 2023 and the TLC Care Group Award for Excellent Hospitality 2023 to his name, Anas is proud to join Macc Care as Development Head Chef.
Carey Burden
Customer Relationship Manager
I’ve worked in health and social care for more than 25 years, starting out as a part-time receptionist and gradually progressing into quality, management and customer relations roles.
Over the years, I’ve worked across a number of care settings, supporting teams, families and residents, and that experience has given me a real understanding of how important trust and communication are when choosing care.
At Leighton Rose, my role is all about helping people get to know the home, building relationships within the local community and making sure families feel informed and supported.
I’m very much a people person, so the part I enjoy most is the interaction and knowing I’ve helped make a difference.
Outside work, I love getting away in my caravan and switching off for a while.
