Hello my name is Elena-Luminita and I am the General Manager here at Bamfield Lodge. I look forward to welcoming you to our home!

I have an absolute commitment to the well-being and happiness of the residents with the focus on person centred care. I studied my degree in general nursing, but went on to do an advanced qualification in adult social care and this was where my passion for working with older people began.  

Bamfield Lodge is a beautiful home and has a wonderful atmosphere. I feel great pride that we receive so much positive feedback from residents and their families.  Myself and the team are here to enrich the lives of our residents every day. I am here to offer support to the residents, their families and the team. For anyone considering care for themselves or for a loved one, our doors are open for you to visit and meet the team.
