day support. .

Day support allows an adult with a disability to spend time with an approved Shared Lives carer in their own home and in the community.

Many Shared Lives carers are people who have moved from being foster carers to Shared Lives carers. The service is for people in Birmingham aged 18 and over who have a disability, and for older adults with care needs. They can live at the home or have day support.
