Long-term support - Shared Lives
Shared Lives can be an alternative to home care or care homes and provides a much more person-centred approach.
This gives supported people the opportunity to create relationships and develop their identity in relation to the family and the wider community.
Shared Lives carers provide long-term encouragement, guidance and support with:
- personal care (washing, dressing etc)
- administering medication if required
- attending medical and social appointments
- making friends
- cooking meals
- spending time together
- going on holiday together
- day to day financial support
