    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.

    Head of Hospitality

    I joined Lambwood Heights in February 2020 and bring a lot of experience and knowledge to my role as Head of Hospitality at Lambwood Heights having previously worked at Village Kitchen, La Sala and Chigwell Hall.

    We pride ourselves that the daily menu 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.

    When not in the kitchen I enjoy spending time with my son Antoni and long walks with my dog.

The standard of the decor is superb, the food is good, and the staff are extremely caring, with nothing too much for them.

Thank you to all the team.”

“A lovely environment and first-class facilities for a respite stay for my godmother. All the staff were extremely kind and attentive.”

Emma N (Goddaughter of Resident)

“Where do I start… This is by far the best care home in Essex! From the moment I viewed this wonderful place, I knew it was the place for my auntie to recuperate. Everything about Lambwood Heights ticked all the right boxes… the staff are amazing, the food is fab… every room is decorated to a very high standard… we only booked in for 4-weeks as my auntie had a fractured spine and at 89, she needed 24/7 care.”

Lucy C (Niece of Resident)

“Lambwood Heights is an exceptionally well-appointed care home…. the fantastic staff have been so caring and attentive, the improvement in my father’s condition has been nothing short of miraculous. The staff at Lambwood Heights are incredibly caring and highly professional. Nothing is too much trouble for them whatever my father’s needs, the staff are always ready to help and change things. This is true of every member of staff, from the receptionist, to the chef, the nurses and everyone – they all show so much compassion.”

Paul O (Son of Resident)

J B (Sister of Resident)

“I have been extremely impressed by the amenities provided, the staff friendliness, and management’s availability to accommodate us if we had any concerns. There have been activities provided on most days we have visited which our friend attends. We appreciate the difficulty at this time with Covid affecting the provision of entertainment but some has been found. We would like to express, the receptionists as they are always pleasant and welcoming.”

“Since my father has been at Lambwood Heights Care Home I have been very impressed with the care he has received. All the staff seem to go that extra mile to help with Dad’s needs and helping him to recover from his stroke (he also has vascular dementia). The ambience at Lambwood Heights is wonderful and with the surrounding grounds and gardens, I know the outdoor space will be good for Dad’s wellbeing. From the moment you are greeted by the reception team, you are made to feel very welcome in a family-like environment. Thank you.”
