A care service, Shared Lives, part of United Response formally based in the Kuumba Imani centre provides foster carers for adults.
The service, recently moved to Toxteth Town Hall, sees families welcome people into their homes supporting them to live their lives to the fullest and as independently as possible. The scheme offers an alternative to the usual housing support people with learning disabilities and/or autistic people have on offer to them, such as residential or home care.
They offer the opportunity to live in a family environment, allowing them to become part of a community, where they can develop relationships and grow in confidence. The support is ongoing and changes with the needs of the individual and is open to people aged 16 with no upper age limit.
