Meet the Collingtree Park Care Home Team

Hello, my name is Debbie and I'm the Head of Unit for our Memory Lane Community here at Collingtree Park. I have had the pleasure of working within the home and caring for our residents here for 25 years. Dementia care is my passion, part of my role is to ensure our residents living with dementia continue to have purpose and fulfilment in their every day life. I'm extremely proud of the personalised care our staff deliver, seeing the happiness it brings to residents is priceless.

Hello, my name is Martin, I'm the activities coordinator here at Collingtree Park

My role is to ensure that our activities, outings and the entertainment we provide is stimulating and inclusive of all our residents no matter their challenges. It is important to me that our weekly calendar offers enriching experiences with music from live entertainers, visits to various locations outside the home, as well as arts and crafts tailored to individual abilities. 

Getting to know our residents better is so important, and through regular family and friends’ meetings we can gain a greater understanding of their loved ones' interests and life prior to joining Collingtree Park that will make for a richer activities program to be developed. 

I look forward to getting to know you, and your loved ones.

We are always open to new ideas. If you would like to get involved in any of our Life Enrichment activities or have a skill, or project you'd like to share with our residents, please click here  to contact the activities team direct. New entertainers and community links are always welcome.

Hello. I am Tamara, Second Chef at Collingtree Park. I have always loved cooking for myself and have developed my career in food since coming from Greece to the UK.

Collingtree Park feels like a big family - I cook with love, as I would for my own family. I research recipes online and try them at home to get them just right for our residents. I like cooking main courses, making them attractive, hearty and full of flavour. I am already working on menus for next season.

I can adapt any of my recipes for people with allergies or swallowing difficulties, so they can enjoy the same flavours as everyone else. I also make cakes and other treats for birthdays and events.

Hello, my name is Prasanna Sivakumar.

I have joined the Barchester family as the Home Administrator at Collingtree Park in Aug 2025. I bring with me over 25 years of experience in Healthcare and Hospitality Management, having worked across various departments including Finance, HR, Administration, and customer-facing services.

My recent experience includes working within specialist mental health hospitals, nursing and residential homes, as well as the NHS, where I’ve developed a strong understanding of both Administrative and operational needs in healthcare settings. I’m passionate about ensuring smooth administrative operations and providing high-quality support to both staff and residents.

I look forward to contributing to the continued success of Collingtree Park and supporting our team in delivering excellent care.
