The Shared Lives service is run by Leicestershire County Council and is designed to support a wide range of people including adults with learning disabilities, older people, adults with mental health conditions, adults with physical and sensory disabilities, adults with dementia and adults with drug and alcohol dependency.
Shared Lives services include long term support, short breaks and daytime support and are all about households sharing their lives, families, home, interests, experience and skills with people who need some help and support to live their lives to the full.
The person is welcomed as a member of the family and supported by a Shared Lives Carer who is checked, approved, trained and monitored by the Shared Lives Service.
Shared Lives focuses on what the person wants and needs to live their life and fulfil their ambitions. It's highly personalised and is delivered by local people in their own communities, using their homes as a base.

If you'd like to find out more about becoming a Shared Lives Carer yourself, please download the leaflet for carers.
