Leonard Lodge Care Home in Brentwood

Our purpose-built nursing home is located on the Hutton Poplars, towards the outskirts of Brentwood. Shenfield High Street is within walking distance. It has a numbers of shops and eateries and also the mainline train station. We are lucky enough to be in a lovely quiet area backing onto woodlands. The site where our home is located was originally a Dr Barnardos children’s home, built in 1906. A small area of the children’s home has been preserved in its original form and can be seen as you drive onto the estate.

We have a long-standing and dedicated team who strive to provide the best quality care for residents, including respite care. Our registered nurses are at the home twenty four hours a day to ensure the development of a tailor-made care plan for every individual’s needs.

Our Memory Lane Community is dedicated to dementia care, enabling every resident to thrive in an environment designed to stimulate and enrich their lives whilst giving families peace of mind and security. Our person-centred team is experienced in responding to the challenges that dementia presents, at whichever stage of the journey. The Community is located on the ground floor and benefits from a beautiful and easily accessible courtyard garden.

We are always happy to meet with you and offer a guided tour of our facilities and grounds. Why not drop in for a cup of coffee and see for yourself?

Tibi Ionescu

General Manager

I am the General Manager of Leonard Lodge Care Home since I joined Barchester Healthcare in September 2015.

I trained as a Registered Nurse and Social Worker in Romania and I have worked in the care sector since 1991. In 2004 I moved to the United Kingdom and since I have worked in a variety of health and social care settings. I have enjoyed a successful career to date and I have had the opportunity to lead and inspire large nursing teams to provide outstanding customer care for individuals suffering with Dementia, Stroke, Parkinson's, Multiple Sclerosis, End of Life, Brain injuries, Spinal injuries, and Young Physical Disability.

Based on my knowledge and expertise, as a General Manager, together with my team, my role is to ensure that we will continue to improve the service we offer to our residents, delivering high quality individualized care and striving for excellence.

Lynn Amiri

Activities Coordinator

I am married with 2 children and 2 rather annoying rescue cats. I have worked in a variety of roles, from office administration to peer mediation in a local school.

I lived in Italy for a number of years and love all Italian food, especially when somebody else cooks it for me!

I love to read, especially crime novels. I am a regular theatre goer with a passion for musicals. I like to sing and dance (albeit badly!).

Paul Brady

Head Chef

I commenced my career with the British Transport Hotels Ltd working in Hull, London, Leeds, GlenEagles and Inverness, I came second in the apprenticeship of the year competition whilst in this position. I moved on to work for the Swallow Hotels where I became International Chef of the Year. In 1978 I held the world record for the most dishes cooked in one hour.

I hold gold, silver and bronze medals at various salons including Hotel Olympia. I have also cooked for the Queen and several Prime Ministers and leaders of other countries.

I have worked at Leonard Lodge since the doors originally opened. I started as a Laundry Assistant and have worked my way up to Head Housekeeper. I pride myself in ensuring a clean, fresh and inviting environment for residents, visitors and staff. I have also received my 15 year Long Service Award, which was presented at our anniversary party.

Sheree Wright

Administrator

I have worked in the care sector as a Nursing Home Administrator for the past 10 years for 2 small care providers with less than 10 Homes. I very much enjoy working in an environment where we can make a difference - each and every one of us - to our client’s daily life.

Prior to having my family in the early 1990s, I worked in the heart of London for the first 6 years of my career as a Records Clerk with the British Medical Association, meeting Prince Charles, our Honorary President, at a Grand Ball held in his honour. I then progressed to being the Records Officer at ‘The General Council of the Bar’ in Gray’s Inn and enjoyed rubbing shoulders at the Inn’s garden parties with the likes of Tony & Cherie Blair and Geoffrey Howe, to name a few. But once I became a parent, I worked part time for HSBC to be able to bring up my family. I now have a lovely 2 year old granddaughter, who takes up a lot of my spare time, along with the dog, pigeons and canaries!
