PSS Shared Lives Merseyside

Shared Lives is a service where you can get support from a Shared Lives carer, to help you live your life to the fullest.

If you want to, you can go to live with your Shared Lives carer in their house, becoming a part of their family. Or you can spend the day with your Shared Lives carer instead.

Your Shared Lives carer will support you with the things you want support with, in the way you want to be supported.

Shared Days

You can get support from a Shared Lives carer just for the day. This is called Shared Days. With Shared Days, you can go out and about with your carer, or go around to their house instead.

  • Support where I stay with a carer for a short time.
  • You can move in with a carer for as short an amount of time as you need.
  • Support where I live with my carer as part of their family.

You can live with a Shared Lives carer for as long as you want to. We know people who have been living with a Shared Lives carer for two years, and we know people who have been living with a Shared Lives carer for twenty years.

Lots of different people use Shared Lives, from all different walks of life. Shared Lives could work really well for you if:

  • you’ve got a learning or physical disability.
  • you’re a new mum or dad who would like some help to learn parenting skills.
  • you’re experiencing poor mental health.
  • you’re recovering from a drug or alcohol addiction.
  • you’re moving from a different type of care, like foster care.
  • you’ve just come out of hospital and need a hand while you get back on your feet; or
  • you already get care but want to have a bit more choice about how it works.
