Shared Lives South West (formerly known as “South West Adult Placement Scheme (SWAPS)”) provides accommodation, care and support services for vulnerable people over the age of 18. Our services are provided in the ordinary family homes of our carefully selected, trained and supported Shared Lives carers. People who use our services may have a learning disability, be on the autism spectrum, have mental health problems or needs related to older age (including dementia) - or any combination of these. Shared Lives arrangements are flexible and enable people to have more of a say about their daily lives. People who use our services are able to be more active in their own community and enjoy a greater degree of independence than might be possible in other care environments. We provide long-term, short breaks and respite services and day services. .
