Luciana Dobos
General Manager
I started working in the Care Sector in April 2012, at the age of 23. As a young person coming from a different country, I was very excited to receive an opportunity to join a successful team and learn how great care is delivered. I have not only matured with age but I have grown as a person amongst special individuals that I have been fortunate enough to meet in the past 10 years during my career path going from a Care Assistant role, to a Reminiscence Coordinator, Deputy Manager and becoming a General Manager. I strive to help as much as I can, and support the team by sharing all my knowledge and empowering people to achieve their full potential. My goal within the Care Sector is to continue helping people feel loved and treated as individuals, be it residents, relatives, or staff. -
Sally Wakeman
Client Relations Assistant
I have been in the Health and Social Care Sector for 30 years, reaching my ambition to become a Registered Manager. I joined Oakland Care in October 2019 and have worked in various roles throughout this time and settled as the homes’ Client Relations Assistant. Every day I walk through the door, I still get the wow feeling, thinking how lucky we are to have Lambwood Heights as a place to call home for our residents and a beautiful place to work. I thoroughly enjoy this role and meeting people as they begin their care journey and supporting them in discovering that we see it as a new chapter to be enjoyed to the full. -
Kamila Stroka
Head Chef
I joined Lambwood Heights in February 2020 and bring lots of experience and knowledge to my role as Head Chef, having previously worked at Village Kitchen, La Sala and Chigwell Hall. We pride ourselves on our daily menu, which has enough variety for residents to enjoy something different each day. It’s important to get regular feedback from our residents on their likes and dislikes, whilst ensuring their dietary and nutritional needs are met. We often have themed days such as Caribbean Day and always have Fish and Chip Fridays! I like to ensure residents have their favourite meals too and our milkshakes are very popular.
