Become a shared lives carer
Types of support you can provide
Shared Lives carers support adults in their own homes to help them live more independently.
Shared Lives carers offer support people in their own homes. They may involve the person’s family, friends and neighbours to help them feel part of the community.
All support takes place in the carer’s home. There are several types of support:
- A long‑term place to live
- A short break stay
- A stay after leaving hospital
- Daytime support in the carer’s home
- Help to live independently or join community activities
Carers are paid based on the level of support they provide.
The service is rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission.
