YOURLIFE MANAGEMENT SERVICES
We understand that to provide excellent customer service we need outstanding people. That’s why we employ and train the team who oversee Balshaw Court. All YourLife staff must provide an enhanced certificate from the Disclosure and Barring Service (DBS) before they commence work at the development.
It’s also reassuring to know that the Care Quality Commission (CQC) regulates YourLife. The Estates Manager who leads the team is personally registered with the Commission.
Yourlife are always there when and if you need them.
A TEAM YOU CAN TRUST
You can trust in the provision of excellent personal care and management from our very own team, enabling you to continue to live independently.
YourLife brings you professional service to your own home, providing flexible personal, domestic and social care support packages, tailored entirely to suit your requirements.
With an extensive assortment of services on offer – from help with grocery shopping to someone accompanying you to a doctors’ or hospital appointment – you might also want to book additional time. This is charged in 15-minute increments, so you only ever pay for the support you need.
DOMESTIC ASSISTANCE
Your service charge already includes one hours’ domesticassistance every week. You can use this time for help with a range of chores, from housework to shopping for groceries, leaving you more time to do the things you enjoy.
If you would like a little more help around your apartment you can add more time, for an additional charge.
PERSONNAL CARE*
If required, we can help you with services such as going to bed and getting up in the morning, help with medication prompting and convalescence care. There’s a whole host of services on offer.
If you think you would like to take advantage of these services, your Sales Consultant can arrange a private, confidential Wellbeing Assessment with the Estates Manager, so you can be sure you have all the care and support you need from the moment you move in.

Leisure
If you like art, the award winning Artmarket Gallery is the place to go. The village is host to several year round events and festivals including an annual Christmas Fayre and Food Festival. There are also two golf clubs local to Cottingham and the village is close to many beautiful green open spaces.
Shopping
Getting the weekly shop couldn't be easier with a supermarket opposite. Continue further into the village and you'll find a selection of local retailers and high street names. At the heart of Cottingham there are several pubs, a medical centre and post office plus a collection of eateries offering a variety cuisine.
Transport
The village offers good connections by both road and rail; the local train station provides links to Hull, Scarborough and Bridlington, and a regular bus service connects Cottingham to surrounding towns and villages. Cottingham is also well served by road networks, with the M62 nearby and the A1079 heading north connects to Beverley and York.
