shared lives for local authorities

Shared Lives is an established and highly successful way of helping people who need support to live in their community, without having to live alone. Shared Lives is based on relationships which everyone involved values.

Benefits for all

Recently published research demonstrates the high quality and personalised nature of Shared Lives arrangements with those involved expressing high levels of satisfaction. In addition the total cost of a Shared Lives arrangement is significantly less than the cost of other types of support service with similar objectives (e.g: The potential saving for someone with learning disabilities in a Shared Lives arrangement rather than residential care is £650pw).

Shared Lives produces great outcomes for individuals and helps them and public bodies make good use of their money.
