About Astley View Care Home
Astley View is a residential care home in Chorley, Lancashire. We care for older people, including those living with dementia, those with physical disabilities and those living with sight or hearing loss, and we welcome people for short respite stays as well as for the longer term. We are a home rather than an institution, and we work hard to keep it that way. Residents choose when to get up, where to sit, what to eat and how to spend the day. Some like the company of the lounge and the noise of a game going on, others prefer their own room with the radio and a view of the garden. Neither preference is a problem, and neither needs justifying to us. Supporting someone with dementia takes patience and consistency, so we keep surroundings familiar, signage clear and routines steady, and we make sure that the people on shift know each resident's history well enough to make sense of what they are saying. For residents with reduced sight or hearing, small adjustments make a large difference, and we build those into daily life rather than treating them as extras. Families are part of the picture here. We would far rather hear from you early if something feels wrong than have you worry about it quietly. If you are considering a move for yourself or a relative, please come and see the place for yourself, meet the team and take your time deciding.
