My name is Samantha Davis and I have been a Nurse for almost 20 years now and have spent most of my career working in the elderly care sector; working within management roles for 8 years I find this extremely fulfilling and rewarding.

Morita Matthews

Administrator

I came to Spring Lodge just over a year ago with over 25 years’ worth of Administrator experience and I am very passionate about being helpful, organised and a friendly welcoming face of Spring Lodge. Spring Lodge is more than a care home, it’s a lovely warm family of staff, residents and families. Every day I leave with a full heart and proud to be part of the Spring Lodge wonderful team. Outside of work I love to read, crochet and my family and I love walking our dog under the Orwell Bridge along the stunning River Gipping.

I am a dedicated, organized and methodical individual with a keen eye for detail. I strive to produce home cooked food to a restaurant standard. I have many great years of experience within the industry. I have worked at Spring Lodge for nearly 20 years. It fills me with my pride to provide meals that residents really enjoy and I have a great understanding of IDDSI. On a personal note I enjoy spending time with my family, listening to music and art.

Tony Holland

Regional Operations Manager

Prior to joining Kingsley, I served in the Army for 26 years, planning and delivering healthcare around the world, and then spent two years as an operational manager in a major NHS hospital. I am delighted to have joined a team that really does feel like a caring family, where everyone wants to be proud of the care they provide. Although I am familiar with the region, my travels to my 10 homes across Suffolk and Essex frequently bring new places to subsequently explore with my family and our dog, Frankie.

Lukasz Wawrzenczyk

Operations Manager

I joined Kingsley in 2005 when I came over from Poland and joined the team at Lilac Lodge, in Lowestoft, as a domestic worker. I then became a support worker and was subsequently promoted to senior support worker, deputy manager and then operations manager. I love working for Kingsley because it is a family-run business and there is always someone to support you. Outside work, I enjoy spending time with family and friends.

Jonathan Ellis

Service Quality Director

Before coming to Kingsley I was an inspector at the Care Quality Commission and, prior to that, my background as a manager and nurse included considerable experience in service development and quality delivery in the NHS. I admire Kingsley’s very person-centred approach to care and it is a pleasure for me to work with our dedicated home teams to achieve a Good CQC rating, at a minimum, in every one of our services.
