Are you working with, or do you know family carers who need a break, overnights or for a regular day? Herefordshire Shared Lives may be able to help…

CQC registered Herefordshire Shared Lives matches assessed and approved Shared Lives carers with people who have an eligible support need.  This means that the person gets to know a Shared Lives carer, their home and household before agreeing to spend time, stay or move in with them.

The Shared Lives carer will welcome into their home, support and spend time with the cared for person with whom they are matched, according to the agreement drawn up. They may stay at the carer’s home, and or go out together to agreed places and events of mutual interest in the community. They will be treated as part of the family, whilst knowing that the Shared Lives carers are approved, trained and supported by the Shared Lives team who also get to know them and make sure the support is working well.
