About Yourlife
Yourlife provides care and support to people living in their own apartments in Canterbury. We work with older people and younger adults, people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people who have sight or hearing loss. This kind of arrangement sits between managing entirely alone and moving into a care home, and for a great many people it is exactly right. You keep your own front door, your own things, your own routine and your own privacy, and support is there in the background at the level you actually want. That might be a hand with washing and dressing, help with medicines, support with meals or the household, or somebody to help you get out and keep up with the people and places that matter to you. We agree the support with each person rather than applying a standard package, and we adjust it as circumstances change, in either direction. Where somebody living with dementia needs the day to stay familiar, we keep it familiar. Where somebody would rather do a thing for themselves, we leave them to it, because independence is easily worn away by well meant help. We ask residents and their families whether we are getting the everyday things right, and we act on the answers, particularly the ones we would rather not have heard.
