Since my Uncle moved into Astley View we feel he has received first-class care, which as a family we appreciate so much. All the staff are interested in the residents but also are very friendly to people visiting. My Uncle is in residential dementia and they have done an excellent job keeping us informed
about his condition and care plans.
The home itself is stunning, the bedrooms and communal areas couldn't really be better.

Reply from Christina Durnan, Home Manager at Astley View

As a family, we are grateful for the kindness and expertise of all the staff at Astley View. As a nurse who has gone into many homes, I have never experienced this level of empathy and skill. It's exceptional.
The environment, activities and food are outstanding.
We never worry about my sister's
care which has put not only my but my 90-year-old parent's minds at rest for the first time in decades.
Exceptional throughout.

The care at Astley View has been outstanding. The care and dignity my grandma has been cared for has been incredible, making sure she wasn't just an old or poorly lady but the person she had been beforehand. The staff are friendly, warm and genuinely care about their residents. I would not want my gran
to be anywhere else, and have even joked about moving in myself!

Astley View certainly surpasses all the expectations I had following my initial visit. Don't get me wrong, my initial visit was impressive, and I came away thinking this was "the place". However, maybe I initially thought some of the claims and objectives may be somewhat too positive. But genuinely
they were 100% spot on.
The team said they have a brilliant relationship with district nurses, doctors, pharmacists, etc, and this has been proven to be a key strength. The on-site staff are amazing, and they have extra specialist knowledge on tap!
The three-way link of AV staff, DN & St Catherine's has given us great comfort and confidence.
I cannot praise highly enough the attentive, caring, and personal way the team is with not only the resident but also with the family.
When I described Astley View to the family, I said that it had redefined what a "care home" is. I now know I was accurate and believe they have set the bar extremely high!
Thank you.

I cannot praise Astley View enough for the care and compassion both my parents received. They both became very ill suddenly and after long hospital stays and 3 months apart were reunited at Astley View. Their needs were assessed individually and the best care was provided for both of them. The staff
has been absolutely amazing and not only cared for my parents but also for us as a family, checking in on us to make sure we were all okay, especially knowing we had a distance to travel each day. Both my parents felt safe and secure and knew that their needs were being met and that nothing was too much trouble. Living away from the area I could return home each night feeling reassured they were getting the best possible care and truly being looked after. I would have no hesitation recommending Astley View to anyone - everything about it is spot on!!

Reply from Christina Durnan, Home Manager at Astley View

Mum is recently back at Astley following surgery for a broken hip. She was desperate to get "home" which is now how she views Astley following permanent residence since April this year. I visited yesterday and spoke to several staff. I feel the care she is getting is really excellent. In particular
yesterday the two ladies were really lovely. Well done Astley it's so good to not be worried about the care num is getting.

Reply from Christina Durnan, Home Manager at Astley View

Thank you for your wonderful review of our home and care team. We have loved caring for your num and getting to know you all as a family, and are delighted that num sees Astley View as her home. We appreciate your kind feedback and look forward to continuing to provide the best possible care to your num.

I am so impressed by Astley View Care Home. The carers are so patient, kind, and professional. All the staff, reception, carers, activity manager, etc are lovely and so responsive and kind. So far everyone I've met knows my Aunt. She feels safe and secure and I know she is receiving the very best care.
The care is way beyond my expectations, which were high in the first place. Thank you Astley View, you have given my Aunt a new lease of life, I haven't seen her smile and laugh so much in years.

Reply from Christina Durnan Durnan, Home Manager at Astley View

Thank you so much for your kind review. We feel grateful to have the opportunity to care for your Aunt and to welcome you all to our home. It has been a pleasure to get to know her and to provide her with the new lease of life she seems to have since moving into the home. The team works incredibly hard to provide a home-from-home experience and to provide the highest levels of person-centred care, and it is much appreciated that this has been recognised.

My mother-in-law who five months ago, several times, given from 48 hours to 6 months to live is thriving since we have moved her to Astley View Care Home. My mother-in-law has to have weekly blood/platelet transfusions. If we cannot take her to the hospital they willingly step in.
The staff are very
friendly, and caring plus go above and beyond in accommodating her.
The home in itself is very clean and maintained to a high standard.
The kitchen again has gone above and beyond in accommodating her food tastes.

Reply from Christina Durnan, Home Manager at Astley View

Thank you for taking the time to review our lovely home, Astley View. Your mother-in-law has been a joy to care for and we feel very lucky that you have chosen us to do this. We have seen her grow in the short time she has been here, and we look forward to continuing this care and support.

My father became a resident of Astley View Care Home in early May. Sadly he passed away in early July. In the two months that Dad was a resident, he was treated with kindness, care and dignity by all the staff. We could not have asked for better care for Dad.

First impressions excellent. The rooms and facilities are first rate, and more importantly the staff were kind caring and supportive, and as far as I could tell my husband was known to staff and not left to feel insecure.
I felt reaction casual, no real mention of it, although floors changed. Reservations
as to the security! My husband left the building early evening and walked home (4 miles). I wasn't told - I rang to say he was home - he then spent the night at home - (not to disrupt again). Not quite the respite or attention expected.

My mother has been a resident since the home opened, so for about 3 months now. All the staff, are welcoming, attentive, professional - and of course caring. Residents are treated like the individuals that they are, and the care is tailored to their needs. Standards and expectations are high, and this
is reflected in the spacious rooms, the activities and special events provided, and the quality of the food. he team is responsive but flexible, friendly yet professional, and you can see real relationships being built up due to the consistency in the team. Astley View offers some wonderful facilities, and there is a lovely ambience as you enter the building, and everyone is made to feel welcome. It feels more like a home from home than a home!

Been a resident at Astley View for 4 months now since it first opened and absolutely loved it. It feels more like a hotel than a care home. Building and furnishings of a very high standard and treated with respect and dignity by all staff not just carers. All staff cannot do enough for you and are friendly
and warm-hearted people. Very happy with everything.

My mother-in-law went to stay at the care home in December 2023. Unfortunately, she deteriorated very quickly. I was not there at that time but went to visit regularly. The home is wonderful, so clean and the staff are super friendly. We know she is in the best place. We would like to say thank you
to all the staff involved in her care.

Amazing place. Incredibly expert and attentive team in all departments, way too many to name and without so much as one single exception.
Beautiful place too which helps but it is the standard of care and service from every single person that creates the magic.

Current Review Score: 9.9 (9.921)

Overview of Review Score

The Review Score of 9.9 (9.921) out of 10 for Astley View is based on a) the Average Rating and b) the number of positive Reviews.

  • a) The Average Rating is 4.9 out of 5 from 28 Reviews in the last 24 months.

  • b) The score for the number of positive Reviews is 5.0 out of 5 from 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months.

Detailed Breakdown of Review Score

The maximum Review Score for a Care Home is 10, which is made up from the Average Rating of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) and the Number of Reviews (maximum of 5 points) in the last 24 months:

  • a) 5 Points are available for the Average Rating from all Reviews in the last 24 months.

    The Average Rating of 4.921 for Astley View is calculated as follows: ( (310 Excellents x 5) + (16 Goods x 4) + (5 Satisfactorys x 3) ) ÷ 331 Ratings = 4.921

  • b) 5 Points are available for the number of Positive Reviews in the last 24 months. A Positive Review is defined as any Review with an 'Overall Experience' of '4' or '5' (out of a max rating '5').

    The 5 Points relating to the number of positive Reviews for Astley View is based on 28 positive Reviews in the last 24 months and is calculated as per below:

    The 5 points available are broken down as follows:

    • i) 4 points are available for the first 10 Positive Reviews in the last 24 months; 3 points for the first Positive Review, and then 0.125 Points for each of the next four Positive Reviews and then 0.1 Points for the next five Positive Reviews. (1st = 3.000, 2nd = 0.125, 3rd = 0.125, 4th = 0.125, 5th = 0.125, 6th = 0.100, 7th = 0.100, 8th = 0.100, 9th = 0.100, 10th = 0.100) 3 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.125 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 + 0.1 = 4

    • ii) 1 point is available for the number of Positive Reviews reaching 20% of the registered maximum number of service users in the last 24 months. If this number is partially reached, then that proportion of 1 point is given. eg a Care Home registered for a maximum of 50 service users has to reach 10 Positive Reviews to receive 1 point, if it has 7 reviews it will receive 0.7 points. 20% of the 90 registered maximum number of service users is 18, which has been reached with 28 Positive reviews. Points = 1

  • When a Review is submitted by someone who has previously submitted a Review, only the latest Review will count towards the Review Score.

  • If a Care Home does not have a review in the last 24 months, then it will not have a Review Score.

Christina Durnan

Job Title: Home Manager

Joined: 2022

We’re excited to introduce Lancashire-born Christina, our newest addition to the Evermore family, who has taken on the role of home manager at Astley View. Her person-centred approach and passion for providing the best possible care are inspiring and perfectly mirror our values at Evermore. With 20 years of experience in elderly and dementia care under her belt, she will be spearheading the management of Astley View, our new Chorley care home. We sat down with Christina to find out more about her values and vision for Astley View. Let’s see what she had to say!


How do you think you can make an impact at Astley View?


I’m looking forward to bringing my decades of experience and my passion for offering the highest quality care for our residents to my new role at Astley View. My real passion is working in the dementia care sector and this is where I believe I can make a real impact. Having lots of experience managing dementia care homes, I’m excited to bring my wealth of knowledge to Astley View in order to make a real difference to the residents I care for, their loved ones, and my team. I’m keen to bring the community into the home and ensure that our residents continue to be a valuable part of it.


What’s your favourite part of the job?


The best thing about my job is meeting the truly incredible and inspirational people that cross my path. It is an honour to play such a vital role in the lives of others and to learn about what makes them who they are. I love being part of a team who are on hand 24 hours a day to offer expert support to those in need. A lot of the people we care for have lived lives that some of us can only imagine, hearing their stories and memories is such a privilege and the reason that I do what I do.


What are you most looking forward to about the new home?


As a Chorley-born girl myself the introduction of a brand-new state-of-the-art care home in my hometown is even more special. I’m looking forward to watching the huge benefit Astley View will have on both residents and the wider community. The home brings a wealth of opportunity for both the people who are seeking outstanding care facilities in Lancashire and for those looking to work in a high-quality care home for an amazing company that values and supports their team. We offer an excellent level of care, ensuring the residents have everything they need and more by working closely with their loved ones so they can rest easy knowing their family member is safe, comfortable and cared for. It’s exciting to see everything come together.


What’s your vision for Astley View?


My vision for Astley View is to create a home where each resident will receive individualised, bespoke care suited to their needs supported by compassionate staff who work autonomously and sensitively. I know that Astley View will be an outstanding place to work and live, where residents and staff will work together in partnership to create an atmosphere of warmth and respect. I am passionate about making every day a great day for both our residents and our team. I’m excited for the future of Astley View and know that as we move forward and grow, we will still offer the high-quality level of care that you can expect from Evermore.
