ABOUT LOCAL CARE HOME - LEICESTERSHIRE SHARED LIVES SCHEME
What is Shared Lives?
Shared Lives is different to Supported Living. Shared Lives is all about living with and being part of a family in their home. Shared Lives carers can support you with things you need help with so that you can live as independently as possible.
Living in a Shared Lives Placement you will be treated as a member of the family and supported to access opportunities in order to achieve your desired outcomes. This can be within the home or outside the home environment.
Shared Lives Carers
Shared Lives Carers are able to provide Long term Placements, Short Breaks and Day Services.
Our carers are skilled, experienced and trained individuals who have chosen to share their homes and lives with others. The Shared Lives Team will try to make sure that the right Shared Lives Carer is found for you.
How is this paid for?
If you have been assessed as needing support by the council your social care worker will tell you how much Personal Budget you have. This is the money you can use to spend on your support.
You will also be assessed for a contribution toward your support costs. Once you have paid your contribution, any benefits/money you have left will be yours to spend on the things you choose.
How do I find out more?
Tell your Social Care Worker that you are interested in a Shared Lives Placement and they will contact the service. If you do not have a social care worker then contact the Leicestershire County Council Customer Service Centre on 0116-305-0004.
