How we will help you

Shared Lives South West is here to help you find the right Shared Lives carer and will make sure everything is going OK. When you live with a Shared Lives family, you are part of Shared Lives South West and our organisation is there to help you in any way we can.

We will work with you to set up your service so that it supports you to life live how you want and helps you to achieve your goals.

We will make sure you can meet a family and try it out, to help you decide if Shared Lives is right for you.

We will set up the funding for the service and help you to manage your money so you can pay toward your service and still have money to spend.

We will visit you and the Shared Lives carer to make sure you are OK and are getting the support you need and are enjoying your life with our family.
