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.
I am privileged to be part of a dedicated and compassionate team and I embrace the challenge of being able to inspire, direct and empower the staff to be their very best to actively and consistently deliver the core principles of care to an exceptional standard.
It is also my duty to give support to loved ones so that they feel secure, safe and treated with utmost love and respect.

Hi, my name is Ella and I am the Head of Jubilee at Leonard Lodge.
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!
