Shared Lives
Can your family care? Could your family open your home to support people with disabilities?
What is Shared Lives?
Shared Lives is a scheme run by Southampton City Council where individuals and families provide care in their home for up to three people aged over 18 with disabilities. Care is offered to individuals who will benefit from living in the community or in a family home.
