Michelle Daglish

Home Manager

Michelle Daglish

I joined Church View in 2014.

Before that I was a support manager for another care provider, working across various homes. However I missed being based in one home where I could make a difference to the residents, relatives and team.

We have a lovely home here, and I like nothing more than to get out and about around Church View, seeing residents and spending time with them. We also have a good team, and I’m proud that we continue to have a ‘good’ rating from the CQC. I believe in constantly improving what we do for the benefit of residents and their families, and I’m looking forward to enhancing the home even further, going from good to great. 

I spend my spare time with my family. I have two grandchildren and am guardian for my great niece. I also like to head off on holiday for some winter sun; Goa is my favourite! 

Anne Curry
Lifestyle Coordinator

I used to be a support worker and nursing assistant in the NHS.

I joined Church View in 2013 to enjoy a different set of challenges. I’m so pleased I made the switch because I’ve learnt a lot here, and met some fantastic people.

One of the highlights of my role is being able to sit and chat to residents and learn more about the things they’ve done – you can always learn something new about someone you thought you knew well, and it’s all useful in helping us to tailor activities to people’s interests.

We work hard to bring residents interesting and different activities to do, and we’re always open to new ideas. We’ll give anything a go. Seeing residents laughing and enjoying themselves, and forming friendships, is the best part of my role.

Benji
Canine Relations Manager

I have the best job of anyone at Church View.

I get to visit all the residents every day and collect cuddles and titbits as they chat and stroke me. I’m here to provide a service, and I think I’m pretty good at what I do.

I started working here in 2018 because my mum is the administrator here. The residents love dogs at Church View, so it made sense for me to join the team too. 

My day generally involves making my way around the home and checking in on all my friends to make sure everyone’s happy. I’ll then have a sleep, then a nap and maybe a little doze after that – I like to mix things up a bit. 

Outside of work, things can get a little more active, with long walks, trips to the beach and ball games in the field. When it all gets too much, I like to unwind in a sunny spot in the garden with my favourite bone.
