Shared Lives is for adults who need support and want to live in a family home.

Shared Lives Carers will support you to develop your skills.

We have a careful matching process to make sure you’ll get along with your carer and have similar interests.

You could spend your days with your Shared Lives Carer, similar to a day centre but you would be in their home or out and about.

You could stay with your Shared Lives Carer for a short break, it could be a night or a few days, it’s up to you.

You could move in with your Shared Lives carer.

If you are an adult over 18 with support needs who wants to spend time in a family environment, then Shared Lives could be for you.

If you prefer socialising in smaller groups, then you will like Shared Lives.

Your Shared Lives Carer could help you learn new skills that make you more independent, like cooking.

Your Shared Lives Carer can support you to work, volunteer or even with your education. Whatever your goals your Shared Lives Carer will support you.
