  • CVT Shared Lives West Midlands

    Shared Lives is sometimes described as being similar to ‘foster care for adults who have additional/complex needs' but it is so much more than that. The person is carefully matched to stay with a Shared Lives Carer, who opens up their home to support you to develop the skills to be as independent as possible; encourage new social networks, build self-esteem, confidence and lead the same ordinary domestic life at the heart of the community. Shared Lives Carers are passionate and dedicated about their work and this is why the model is such a powerful and effective form of care that creates a real sense of belonging for all those involved. People who are supported to remain in the community are known to lead longer, healthier, happier, lives. CVT Shared Lives currently have 38 households across the Black Country region who have been specially trained to provide a person-centred approach that supports the Person to make their own choices and take control of their every day lives. CVT provide Shared Lives to people from the age of 16+ who may be diagnosed with either a learning disability, mental ill health, autism, dementia, sensory impairment, acquired brain injury, older people or require support on discharge from hospital.
