Adult placement information

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 and is an alternative to residential care for those people who want to live or stay in a homely environment, but cannot manage on their own.

We can help you to find a new home or a place to stay for a short break if you:

are aged 18 and over and are vulnerable
have a learning, physical or sensory disability
are an elderly person
have a mental health problem.

An adult placement can be somewhere to live (in a permanent home), somewhere to stay for a short break (this could be an overnight stay or longer), somewhere to go for day time support or used as preparation for independent living.
