Shared Lives

Shared Lives is a way of providing accommodation, care and support for vulnerable adults. It used to be known as ‘Adult Placement’. There are Shared Lives schemes all over the UK but locally an independent charity called Shared Lives South West delivers Shared Lives in Cornwall, Plymouth, Torbay and Devon.

In Shared Lives, accommodation, care and support are provided in the ordinary family homes of carefully selected, trained and supported Shared Lives carers.
