About Your Life ()
Your Life in Taunton is a home care agency supporting people in their own homes across Taunton and the surrounding parts of Somerset. Most of the people we work with are older, and we also support younger adults, including people living with a visual or hearing impairment. What we do is practical. We help with getting up and settling at night, washing and dressing, medicines, meals and drinks, keeping on top of the house, and getting out to appointments or to see people. The aim of all of it is that someone carries on living in their own home, on their own terms, with just as much help as they actually want. We agree what each visit covers with the person themselves, and with family if they would like them involved. If needs change, and they often do, we change the plan rather than carrying on with something that no longer fits. Where someone has a sensory impairment, we take the time to learn how they prefer to be approached and communicated with, because getting that right makes the difference between support that reassures and support that unsettles. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to talk through what help might look like, or you are not yet sure what you need, please get in touch. There is no obligation in having the conversation.

More about the care at Your Life ()
Home Care at Your Life ()
Home care is paid support that comes to someone in their own house or flat, rather than the person moving into a residential setting. Your Life is registered as a domiciliary agency covering Taunton and surrounding parts of Somerset, and holds a good rating from its Care Quality Commission inspection in May 2025. Visits are usually agreed in blocks of time and can cover personal care, medication, meals, housework and getting out and about. Indicative hourly rates in the South West run from about £28 to £33, with Somerset Council paying its own contracted rate for people it funds. Worth asking how care plans are reviewed when needs change, how continuity of carer is handled, and what the minimum visit length is.
Older Person Care at Your Life ()
Practical support for older people at home usually covers help getting up in the morning, washing and dressing, prompting or administering medication, preparing meals and drinks, and simply having someone to talk to during a visit. Your Life (Taunton) is registered with the Care Quality Commission for older person care and describes helping people carry on living in their own home on their own terms. Typical home care rates across the South West sit around £28 to £33 an hour, though Somerset Council may fund care at its own agreed rate where someone is eligible. Families should ask how visits are scheduled through the day, whether the same small group of carers comes each time, what happens if a visit runs late, and how any support is arranged at night, since agencies vary in whether they offer waking or sleep in cover.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at Your Life ()
For someone living with sight or hearing loss, small practical things matter, from good lighting and clear labelling to carers announcing themselves on arrival and facing the person when speaking. Your Life (Taunton) is registered to support people with visual or hearing impairment across Somerset. Families should ask how carers are briefed on someone's preferred communication, whether hearing aids and glasses are checked at each visit, and how written care notes are shared.
Younger Adults at Your Life ()
Adults under 65 receiving home care often want support that fits around work, study, hobbies or seeing friends, rather than a routine built purely around personal care tasks. Your Life is registered to support younger adults alongside older clients in Somerset. Ask how visit times flex around a working week, how goals beyond personal care are recorded, and whether carers can support trips out into Taunton.
