One of our most active residents and a certified night owl, Yezdi Mehta, now 66 years old, moves with restless energy. He paces up and down, never quite still, his mind and body constantly in motion. At Ahura Support, his hyperactive nature is not a problem to be solved but a part of who he is — one that is understood, managed and embraced as part of the Ahura Support family.

Since arriving at Ahura Support in 2018, Yezdi has settled into a rhythm that makes sense to him and is understood by all around him. He follows a routine and is pretty particular about time — when his meals are served, when his daily tasks are done and the like. As long as his world follows this structure, he is content.

He recognises familiar faces, even if he does not express it in conventional ways. His connection with his caregivers is deep, built on trust and silent understanding. He follows their instructions meticulously on picnics and other outings, finding comfort in the presence of those who know him well.

While capturing his attention is a challenge, he thrives in moments that engage his senses. He enjoys outings, being in the open, amidst nature, always staying close to his caregiver, never wandering too far. In these moments, his energy finds an outlet, his world expands beyond the walls of his routine.

In the past, Yezdi was prone to self-harm but with constant supervision and structured care, these episodes have nearly ceased. His movements, his restlessness, his need for order, is simply part of who he is and at Ahura Support, he is not asked to be anyone else.

Yezdi is not defined by his challenges, nor is he expected to change. Here, he is safe, he is understood and most importantly, he is home.
