About Shared Lives
Shared Lives supports adults, and young people over the age of 16, who are unable to live independently.
Shared Lives service looks for carers who can provide care in their homes for disabled adults, older people and vulnerable people needing support.
For many adults placed with carers, this will be their first experience of being part of a loving family and having the independence to live a fulfilling life in their local community.
Shared lives can offer
- Short term care
- Long term care
- Respite care
