Shared Lives scheme
Shared Lives offers people the opportunity to stay in a family home, with trained Shared Lives Providers, who have been carefully matched to ensure that people have the best opportunities possible.
What is Shared Lives?
Shared Lives is for people over the age of 18 who have additional support needs, this may because they have a learning disability, a long-term health condition, or may be a young person aiming to build on life skills for more independent living.
We support people who want to live in a family home, within a local community.
Our Shared Lives Providers can support you with your daily routines, for example personal care, attending appointments, developing new skills and accessing your local community, they also provide friendship.
I love being in a caring family.I love living in Shared Lives with Karen and BJ and I want to stay here forever.
