Shared Lives

Shared Lives is where A Shared Lives Provider (regulated by CQC) recruits, assesses and approves and trains Shared Lives carers, who under the terms of a Shared Lives carer agreement provides, or intends to provide, personal care and support. The Shared Lives Carers share their home and their family (and/or community) life and, where necessary, provide accommodation to the person using or living in a Shared Lives arrangement. In Shared Lives day support arrangements, this can be using the home as a base and then visiting the community. Lincolnshire County Council are looking to grow the Shared Lives provision year on year and the total contract value over the 5 years (3+1+1) is expected to be approximately between 3 500 000 and 5 000 000.
