Shared Lives South West is an award winning regional charity operating in Cornwall, Devon, Torbay and Plymouth. We support adults over 18 years of age and young people in transition from the age of 16 upwards. We support people with a learning disability, people with mental health issues, older people, and people with early stage dementia and parents with a learning disability. Shared Lives is a very special type of social care - it's all about people in the local community supporting others to live their lives to the full by sharing their home and family life, as well as their skills and experiences as care workers.
