What is Shared Lives and How to Access It?
Shared Lives offers adults who need support the opportunity to live in a family home, promoting independence, personal growth, and community connections. Tailored to individual needs, it provides flexible options such as:
- Spending the day with a Shared Lives carer.
- Taking a short break.
- Moving in as part of a long-term arrangement.
In Slough, this scheme is delivered in partnership with Ategi, ensuring careful matching between individuals and carers.
To access the Shared Lives scheme, an assessment by a social worker is required. For more information, contact Adult Social Care:
