Supported living
You can find more information about organisations who provide domiciliary care, day care or supported living services on our Information Point Directory.
Shared Lives is a scheme provided by the council that offers a flexible form of supported living. If you are a person with a learning disability aged 16 and over or an older adult with care needs Shared Lives could be for you.
Shared Lives centres on carers sharing their home, family and community life with adults that need support. You will have your own bedroom and can do the same things you enjoy doing, such as having friends round. Your Shared Lives carer can help you with things like washing and dressing, and helping you with money and medication.
Sandwell Shared Lives Scheme is registered with the Care Quality Commission.
If you are interested in living or having some support in a Shared Lives home call our contact centre for adult social care services, Sandwell Council Enquiry.
