About Brightening Lives
Brightening Lives provides support to people in their own homes in Thirsk and across North Yorkshire. We work with older people and younger adults, with people who have learning disabilities and autism, and with people who have physical disabilities or a visual or hearing impairment. Support at home should widen a life rather than administer one. That principle governs how we plan. We begin with what somebody wants their week to contain, what they can already manage, where they would like to become more independent and where they genuinely need another person alongside them. The support follows from that, rather than starting with a list of tasks and fitting the person in around it. In practice our staff help with personal care, medication, meals, money, appointments, travel, work and college, and with keeping up the relationships that matter. Covering a rural area means we take particular care over timing and reliability, since a missed visit is harder to put right when the next village is twenty minutes away. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. We welcome enquiries from people considering support, from families and from professionals.
