Shared Lives

Shared Lives supports people aged 18 and over who have care and support needs.

The scheme matches people who need care with an approved host.

Some people move in with their host, while others visit them in the daytime.

Find out more about the Shared Lives scheme.

You can watch a video on Essex County Council's YouTube channel to get an idea of what Shared Lives looks like:
