About
We provide care and support services for people with learning disabilities, mental health problems and for those with ageing health needs.
We are an award winning charity that delivers long term and short break care services throughout Devon, Cornwall and Somerset.
We provide care and support and are an alternative to supported living and residential care.
Established in 2004, we are a highly regarded care provider, rated Outstanding by the Care Quality Commission. We have a very strong reputation in the Shared Lives sector for quality, innovation and person centred approaches.
We specialise in supporting people with learning disabilities, autism, mental ill health, dementia and older people. People who use our services live or have a break in the home of one of our approved carers. It’s similar to adult fostering and is a great alternative to supported living or residential care.
Our Funding and Benefits team check that people who use our services are receiving the correct benefits and offer a money management service.
We are passionate about training and investing in our team to ensure we deliver high quality services.
Shared Lives South West is an independent registered charity, regulated by the Charity Commission and Companies House. We have offices at Kingsteignton, in Devon, Ilminster in Somerset and Scorrier in Cornwall.
At the heart of our organisation are the people who use our services and our amazing carers.

Our purpose: We support people to live meaningful lives, enabling independence through personalised, affordable care, by sharing a home and family life and by supporting involvement in the local community.
