Living with a family or household

Vulnerable adults who want to live as part of a family or household can do so with the support of the Adult Placement Scheme.

It is similar to fostering, but is for adults rather than children.

More information about the future of older people’s care is available and you can let us know what you think about the proposal by completing our Consultation Questionnaire.

- Have your say
 

The chances of becoming a carer are increasing all the time, everyone has the potential to become a carer,and it is likely that in the future more and more of us will have some caring responsibilities.

We hope to get more carers involved in shaping the services they receive. Have your say on our services
