About Your Life Your Home
Your Life Your Home provides support at home for people in Canterbury and the surrounding part of Kent. We work with people living with dementia, people with a learning disability or autism, people with a physical disability, people with sight or hearing loss and people managing mental health conditions, including younger adults. The name is the point. Our job is to help people live the life they want in their own home rather than to run it for them. For some that means help with personal care, medication and daily routines. For others it means doing a weekly shop and cooking properly, keeping on top of bills and appointments, getting to a job or a course, or carrying on with something they have always done. We are careful about the line between supporting a person and taking over, because that line is easily crossed by staff who are in a hurry to be helpful. We pay close attention to how people communicate, which is not always through words, and we take the time needed to get it right rather than assuming. Plans are written with the person, reviewed honestly and changed when they stop fitting. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We keep examining our own practice, particularly around choice and independence. If you would like to talk about support for yourself or someone in your family, we are happy to meet and explain how we work.
