The brief

Shared Lives is a type of care and support defined by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) where an individual or family (the Shared Lives Carer) is paid to include a disabled or older person (the Person) in their family and community life.

In most cases the Person lives with the Shared Lives Carer and their family on a long-term basis, although Shared Lives Carers can also support people living in their own homes through day support at the Shared Lives Carers home, provide respite care for an unpaid family Carer(s) or act as a "stepping stone" for someone who wants to live independently.
