About Your Life

Your Life in Ferndown provides care and support to people in their own homes in Ferndown and the surrounding parts of Dorset. We support older people, including many living with dementia, adults with a physical disability, people with a visual or hearing impairment, and younger adults who want support to manage day to day life. Most people would far rather stay where they are, with their own things around them and their own routines intact. Our job is to make that workable for as long as it sensibly can be, and to be honest with families when circumstances are changing. We begin by asking what is genuinely difficult and what somebody still manages perfectly well on their own, because good support builds on what is already there rather than taking over a household. From there we agree the visits and the tasks and set them out in plain language. They might cover help with washing and dressing, prompting and support with medication, preparing meals and drinks, moving safely around the home, laundry, shopping and getting to appointments. For some people the most valuable part of the week is simply that a familiar person comes, notices how they are and has time to talk. Dementia support is a large part of our work. That means arriving calmly, keeping to routines that make sense to the person, never rushing anybody, and noticing the small shifts that tell you something has changed. We agree timings and keep to them, and we aim to send the same familiar faces to each household. Please get in touch if you would like to talk about support.
