Our Story
English Rose Suites began with a deeply personal mission: To redefine what it means to care for people who need 24-hour support, to embrace each resident’s personal story and help them live their lives with real purpose and meaning.
English Rose has been nationally recognized for its relationship-based approach to care and featured in the 2019 PBS documentary Revolutionizing Dementia Care.
We are honored to support Twin Cities families, providing peace of mind by welcoming their loved ones into our unique residential homes where they will experience an unprecedented level of compassion and care.
With gratitude and respect,

Meet Our Home Care Team
In every organization, it’s the people behind the “product” that make the difference. This is especially true at English Rose, where every member of our leadership team started as a front-line caregiver and shares a passion to provide our clients with the highest degree of professional and personalized
care available.
Since her first job as a CNA, Tiffany has been committed to making a positive impact on the lives of others. After earning her nursing degree, she has built a 21-year career at English Rose, during which time she has served in a leadership capacity in every department of the organization before becoming Executive Director in 2020. Throughout her journey, Tiffany has remained driven by a passion for providing intentional and compassionate care to English residents and Home Care clients.
As the operational leader of English Rose, Tiffany is dedicated to creating an organizational culture that allows our home care clients and their caregivers to thrive. Known for her patience, problem-solving abilities, attentive listening, and meticulous attention to detail, she is grounded in a philosophy of servant leadership, empowering individual to collaborate as a team, creating a “village” of highly trained, dedicated care professionals who share common values, a strong work ethic, and an unwavering commitment to excellence.
Tiffany takes pride in her long-standing affiliation with English Rose and notes that, “We always go the extra mile for our clients and stand by our commitments.” She believes that respect, kindness, and small sparks of joy are essential elements in creating a meaningful and positive impact on the lives of others.
Outside of her professional responsibilities, Tiffany is a proud mom of three (plus a dog!) who enjoys NBA basketball, attending dance competitions and soccer games, cooking, and hosting warm, welcoming gatherings in her home.
With over 30 years of experience in healthcare, Mia brings a wealth of expertise and compassion to her role as Director of English Rose Homecare. Her caregiving career started by providing many months of one-on-one care to a 93-year-old man living with Lewy Body Disease, a form of dementia. The experience was transformative, “I knew then that this is what I wanted to do forever. Help people live the best life they can in the comfort of their own home.”
Mia has a deep understanding of the importance of identifying with each person’s unique needs, and then tailoring assistant to not just make their lives easier, but also more joyful. Mia’s most cherished moments with clients are often the simplest: holding a hand, listening to their life stories, sharing a smile, or brightening their day in meaningful ways. She believes these small, heartfelt connections are at the core of exceptional caregiving.
“What sets English Rose Homecare apart,” Mia explains, “is the care we take in selecting who gets to join our team, and our commitment to truly getting to know our clients. This allows us to match people with the right caregivers so that we provide the support they need, as well as the personalities that will bring warmth and special moments of connection to brighten our client’s days and ease their challenges.”
Outside of work, Mia enjoys baking, exploring her newfound love for pickleball, and—most of all—creating treasured memories with her grandchildren.
By age 14, Zach was dedicating much of his free time to being his grandfather’s companion and caregiver, helping him navigate through Alzheimer’s disease. This early experience sparked Zach’s lifelong passion for caring for older adults, rooted in the love, security, and wellbeing his family provided in their home.
Zach’s caregiving journey continued as nursing home CNA before bringing all his skills and compassion to English Rose. He is inspired by English Rose’s commitment to building genuine client relationships. “Fostering relationships leads to trust,” Zach shares. “Trust opens the door to love, and love is the secret ingredient of exceptional care.”
Those who know Zach describe him as an old soul with a positive attitude, a ready smile, and a natural ability to connect. He listens closely and intuitively understands the needs of clients and their families. A memory that guides him is of time spent with a woman living with dementia who found comfort simply by having Zach sit beside her while she knitted—a reminder of the profound impact of small, meaningful moments.
While his knitting skills are mediocre, his baking skills are legendary. Zach won the 2011 Blue Ribbon at the Goodhue County Fair for his chocolate chip cookies. Outside of work, he enjoys playing guitar, reading, and taking long walks.
Stephanie brings a unique blend of warmth, compassion, and over 21 years of experience as a registered nurse to her role as Director of Health Services at English Rose. Her residents and home care clients and their families value Stephanie’s deep commitment to ensuring each individual’s medical and health needs are met and done so with expertise and true care. Stephanie is a steady, supportive presence who forms meaningful relationships with everyone she serves, who she describes as her “bonus family.” Stephanie’s nurturing, collaborative and compassionate approach guides her in every client and family interaction.
Stephanie’s passion for her work shines in her appreciation for English Rose philosophy. “The care we provide is second to none,” she explains. “But it’s all about the relationships—with our clients, their families, and our team members. At English Rose, we take the time to know and respect each person so we can deliver the best, most individualized care possible.” She adds, “Learning from their wisdom and hearing their life stories not only makes us better caregivers, but better people. You carry those lessons with you throughout your career.”
Outside of work, Stephanie enjoys walking her dog, Bruno, discovering new restaurants, and exploring artsy events with friends.
Louise’s excitement and inspiration for joining the English Rose team stems from her own caregiving journey with loved ones. As part of the “sandwich generation” that has to balance the needs of parents and children simultaneously, Louise recognizes the invaluable shift that occurs when trained, compassionate, and responsive caregivers step in, enabling families to focus on quality time rather than on the demands of caregiving. This experience motivated Louise to pivot her career, aligning her passions with a mission to help other families discover the benefits of setting up the right support system that will enhance the lives of seniors and their loved ones.
With a natural talent for building relationships, a love of learning, and vibrant personality, Louise was the perfect fit for the role of Strategic Growth Manager at English Rose. Known for her warmth, inclusivity, and positivity, she is a trusted resource for families navigating home healthcare decisions and supporting their parents’ needs at every stage. Though not in a direct caregiving role, Louise insisted on completing the same rigorous training as all English Rose caregivers, gaining an even deeper appreciation for the dedication and excellence that define the English Rose experience. Louise would be glad to meet with you at your convenience to begin exploring the myriad options for homecare through English Rose.
Outside of work, Louise enjoys spending time with her family, power walking, and participating in group fitness classes with fellow exercise enthusiasts.
