Shared Lives

Shared Lives offer short breaks and full time placements in the home of approved Shared Lives carers, for adults who have a learning disability, older people, people with dementia, sight or hearlng loss or mental ill health.

Short breaks can be anything from an overnight stay to a weekend or a couple of weeks, depending on the needs of the person and their permanent carers.

Full time placements occur when the person moves in on a permanent basis with a Shared Lives carer or family.

This can range from a couple of hours to a few days or even weeks. A needs assessment is required to approve access to this service.

Please see Bradford Council's Shared Lives webpage for further information and how to apply.
