Meet the Chigwell Team

• 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.
• Claudiu Lucean

  Deputy Manager/Head of Care

  I joined Lambwood Heights in October 2019, having previously worked as a Care Home Advance Practitioner at a care home in Romford. My role at Lambwood Heights gives me the flexibility to manage and support the Care and Clinical Team, to ensure residents are safe, cared for and all care and clinical needs are met and to also to connect with our residents and relatives on a daily basis. I enjoy my work because I am able to help people in need to live a happy and independent life. In my spare time, I enjoy playing tennis, football, socialising with my friends and visiting my family back home in Romania.
• 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.
• Fiona Heneghan

  Client Relations Manager

  I have supported Care Homes for over 9 years and previously worked in Leisure and HR. My role is to effectively manage the occupancy levels of both Lambwood Heights and Woodland Grove care homes and build positive relationships with residents, families and external contacts in the community. I work closely with the marketing department and our lifestyles teams to ensure our services are promoted to reflect the excellent care and support we provide. The residents are our extended family who we love to nurture and share daily life with whilst keeping them safe and well.  I’m always delighted to meet new families and support their journey.
