What is Shared Lives
Shared Lives matches an individual based on their care and support needs with highly trained Carers.
Unlike traditional forms of support, this service provides a person centred approach to care, delivered in the Carer’s home.
The service focuses on building a strong relationship between the individual and the Carer, along with those in the Carer's circle of family and friends, even the family pet!
Shared Lives provides individuals with the opportunity to receive the care they require in a natural home style environment and remain a part of the community.
The benefits of Shared Lives
The individual can visit their Shared Lives Carer for a few hours during the day, stay the night or even choose to move in, and live with them and share in their life.
This is a community and strengths based approach to enable people to live meaningful and fulfilled lives, which is done by sharing a home and becoming part of a family.
Shared Lives gives you the flexibility and the control to choose your Carer, home environment, and lifestyle through our matching process.
