Shared Lives

Shared Lives

Shared Lives is for people over the age of 18 who have additional support needs, this may because they have a learning disability, a long-term health condition, or may be a young person aiming to build on life skills for more independent living. Bury Shared Lives, which is managed by Persona, is a unique scheme that offers tailor made support to adults within the Bury area.

All our enquiries for placements come through our Bury Adult Social Work teams. The matching process is central to the person-centred approach in Shared Lives. This can take time, and involves considering the support needs of the person, the location, social networks and other factors specific to the person.

The Shared Lives Scheme is accessed through Bury Council, please contact Contact Adult Social Care - Bury Council to receive an assessment
