Meet the Team

Elena-Luminita Porancea

Registered Manager

I have worked for over 15 years in the care industry, and have had the privilege of working in various roles that have enriched my understanding of both care delivery and leadership. Starting as a Carer, I developed my passion for supporting individuals and quickly realised that my calling was to be part of a team that makes a positive difference in people's lives.

My professional journey took me from Romania, where I worked as a Nurse in an Emergency Hospital for two years, to the United Kingdom, where I've developed my professional career in leadership positions within Care Homes.

As a leader and manager I firmly believe that a successful nursing home is built on strong teamwork, open communication, and a commitment to continuous improvement. I work closely with both staff and families to create a nurturing environment where residents are treated with dignity and respect, and staff are supported in their professional development.

My mission is to create an environment that promotes quality care, a positive work culture and family involvement. I take immense pride in seeing our team success and seeing the positive impacts on our residents' lives.
