Types of support
Support for what you need
Shared Lives can support you:
- for time during the day. Your Shared Lives carer could help you gain independent skills so you get get your life back, rediscover your interests, do more of what you love, or give a family carer a rest each week.
- for a short break – if you want your usual carer to have a break – you can stay with a Shared Lives carer you’ve chosen and enjoy being with for a few days.
- every day – if you want to!
With many Shared Lives carers to choose from, you can find someone who you’d love to visit or live with and share your family and community life, together.
