Meet The Manager
Christina Durnan is Home Manager at Astley View.
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.
At Astley View, we believe that life in a care home should be full of joy, connection, and meaningful experiences. Every resident has a rich life story, and we make it our priority to celebrate that. We take the time to truly get to know each person, learning about their past, passions, and the things that bring them joy. This helps us create activities and care plans that reflect who they are and what they enjoy most.
Our residents enjoy a wide range of activities that are designed to suit all interests and abilities. From creative arts and crafts, lively music sessions, and community outings to quieter moments like gardening or enjoying afternoon tea, there’s always something to look forward to. We make sure that everyone has the opportunity to engage, whether it’s in a social group or through more personal activities that bring a sense of comfort and happiness.
But we also understand the importance of calmness and residents enjoy spending time in our peaceful garden, reading in one of our quiet lounges, or simply enjoying the tranquillity of their room. We make sure there are always spaces where they can take a step back, unwind, and recharge.
At Astley View, we’re more than just a care home - we are a community where each resident’s life and experiences are valued and respected. Our aim is to create an environment where every person feels a sense of belonging and where every day is filled with opportunities to enjoy life to the fullest. Whether it's laughter with new friends or moments of quiet reflection, life at Astley View is designed to feel like home.
