Introducing YourLife

YourLife is regulated by the Care Quality Commission; each Estates Manager who leads the team at the development is personally registered with the Commission. To read the CQC’s independent evaluation of our provision, please see: www.cqc.org.uk/search/yourlife**

We understand that to provide excellent customer service we need outstanding people. YourLife ensures that their staff have the skills to do a first rate job, invests in training and encourages career development. All staff are subject to an enhanced certificate from the DBS (The Disclosure and Barring Service) before they commence work alone at the development.

Domestic assistance is included

One hour of domestic assistance per week, per apartment is already included in your service charge, so many time consuming chores like bed changing and cleaning can be a thing of the past.

You can also book extra time charged from 15 minutes per session for the qualified staff to help you with other personal care and domestic assistance services. You can book these on a temporary basis, as a one-off or on a regular basis – the choice is yours. Unlike in a traditional care home environment, you will only pay for the support you need.

**If you don’t have internet access, we can print your reports on request.
