About Yourlife ( 2)
Yourlife in Taunton is a home care agency supporting people in and around the town. We visit older people and younger adults in their own homes, including people living with dementia, people with physical disabilities and people with a visual or hearing impairment. Our work is practical and it is built around the person's own day. We help with getting up and settling at night, washing and dressing, medicines, meals and drinks, keeping the house in order, and getting out to appointments or to see friends and family. How much of that someone wants is their decision, and we would always rather support a person to do something themselves than do it for them. Because we visit people in their own homes, small things matter. Turning up when we said we would, letting someone know if we are delayed, and sending carers who already know the household all make the difference between help that reassures and help that unsettles. We plan our rounds accordingly. Where someone is living with dementia, we keep the pattern of visits familiar and we take our time. Where someone has a sensory impairment, we learn how they prefer to be approached before we do anything else. Our most recent overall rating from the Care Quality Commission is good. If you would like to talk through what support might look like, please get in touch. There is no obligation in asking.

More about the care at Yourlife ( 2)
Dementia Care at Yourlife ( 2)
Good dementia support at home rests on familiar faces, a predictable pattern to the week, unhurried visits and carers who know how to read mood and body language rather than rely on questions. Yourlife is registered for dementia care and its own description mentions keeping the pattern of visits familiar and taking time with people living with the condition. Families should ask how the agency matches carers to someone with dementia, how handovers work when a regular carer is off, and what training staff have had in dementia specifically. It is fair to ask how they respond to distress, restlessness or a person wanting to leave the house, and how the plan is adjusted as the condition progresses. Ask also how they liaise with the GP, memory service and family.
Home Care at Yourlife ( 2)
Home care in Taunton usually means scheduled visits from a carer who helps with personal care, medication, meals, light housework and getting out and about, while the person stays in familiar surroundings. Yourlife in Taunton is registered with the Care Quality Commission for this service and received an overall rating of good at its February 2026 inspection. Indicative hourly rates across the South West sit between around £28 and £33, though the agency's own prices are not published here and Somerset Council may contribute where someone is eligible after a needs and financial assessment. Sensible questions include the minimum visit length, how care plans are reviewed, and whether the agency can flex hours as needs change. Ask too about how concerns or missed calls are reported and resolved.
Older Person Care at Yourlife ( 2)
Support for older people in their own homes usually covers the ordinary rhythm of the day, from help getting up and dressed, prompting or administering medicines, preparing meals and drinks, through to companionship on a quiet afternoon or a lift to an appointment. Yourlife is registered with the CQC for older person care and its About Us text describes visits planned around the person's own routine rather than a fixed script. Families thinking about this agency should ask how call times are set and kept, whether the same small group of carers returns each week, and how continuity is protected during holidays or sickness. It is also worth asking what happens if a visit is running late, and whether any overnight or twilight calls are available for people who feel less safe after dark.
Visual and Hearing Impairment at Yourlife ( 2)
Sensory loss changes small things, from how a carer announces themselves at the door to how medicines and meals are described. Yourlife is registered to support people with a visual or hearing impairment and its About Us notes that staff learn how someone prefers to be approached before doing anything else. Families should ask how carers are briefed on hearing aids, glasses and communication preferences, and how written care notes are shared in an accessible form.
Younger Adults at Yourlife ( 2)
Being under 65 and receiving support at home is a very different proposition from later life care, since work, study, relationships and hobbies all shape what a good day looks like. Yourlife is registered to support younger adults alongside older clients. It is worth asking how carers are matched to someone closer to their own age and interests, and how visits are scheduled around a working or social week rather than a fixed morning and evening pattern.
Physical Disability at Yourlife ( 2)
Adults with a physical disability who want to stay at home often need reliable help with transfers, personal care, medication and getting out into the community, alongside space to do things independently where possible. Yourlife is registered for this care type. Ask how carers are briefed on moving and handling for a specific person, whether they work alongside existing equipment such as hoists or profiling beds, and how visit lengths flex on harder days.
