Shared Lives is a service where people with
assessed eligible social care needs share the home of a specially
recruited and trained carer and their family. The Council’s
current contract for the Shared Lives service is due to expire on
31st March 2024. The recommendation is to recommission the service
to provide continuity of care for individuals and ensure continued
delivery of a good quality service which is value for
money.
