Shared lives services, formerly known as adult placement, involve the provision of care and support in the homes of ordinary people to individuals placed there by the local authority. This case study is based on an evaluation of the quality, outcomes and cost-effectiveness of shared lives services in south east England, conducted in 2009. The study found that most shared lives schemes provide: ‘care that is good or excellent, care that meets national minimum standards, positive experiences and outcomes for people, high levels of satisfaction among stakeholders, and value for money’, delivering high quality support at a relatively low price.

This updated version of 'Total transformation of care and support: future of care', originally published in 2016, looks at how transformed and integrated health and care could improve outcomes and cost effectiveness of services. It outlines five areas where transformation needs to take place and where health and care systems can help older and disabled people build a good quality life. It identifies six well-evidenced models, which demonstrate how to combine scarce state resources with the capacity of individuals, families and communities. Using data from Birmingham City Council, it explores the potential for scaling up these six schemes, modelling their outcomes, costs and estimated financial benefits. It also highlights key enablers that could help areas implement each scheme. The models cover an initiative to help isolated older people; the Living Well scheme to improve resilience amongst older people; a service to support adults with learning disabilities to become independent; Shared Lives; a scheme to improve hospital discharge, and support for people following a hospital stay. Appendices include a template to help structure conversations with local citizens and stakeholders about transforming. It is the third of SCIE's Future of care series, which aims to stimulate discussion amongst policy-makers and planners about the future of care and support. (Edited publisher abstract)

Shared Lives is based around a Shared Lives carer sharing their home with an adult in need of care, to encourage meaningful relationships, independent living skills and community integration. This review explores how Shared Lives’ respite service for older people and people with dementia compare to ‘traditional’ forms of care for across three areas: outcomes for service users, carer and care commissioners; direct care costs to commissioners; and impact on the broader health system, such as a reduced usage. The review found that Shared Lives model provides positive outcomes for both service users and carers. It found that Shared Lives arrangements were able to reduce social isolation experience by carers and help increase their general wellbeing. Shared Lives also resulted in increased independence, wellbeing and choice for service users. In addition, the study found that the costs Shared Lives approach are similar to ‘traditional’ respite provision and provide an important option for commissioners. Appendices include details of calculations of the cost of providing Shared Lives respite care and day services; the results of a rapid evidence assessment on outcomes of 'traditional' respite care; and details of Healthcare service usage modelling.

This tool has been developed to help commissioners and other local planners consider the relative cost and benefit of different models of housing with care, through the best available data and research evidence. This tool is part of the work being delivered by The Commission on the Role of Housing in the Future of Care and Support, which was launched in October 2020 with the aim of developing a vision and roadmap for housing with care and support for older people. The tool enables commissioners to compare the costs and benefits of four key forms of housing with care and support for older adults: residential care home; extra care; sheltered/retirement housing; and Shared Lives. The resource includes: an introduction to the tool and key elements of the model, national estimates on potential costs and benefits nationally of investment in different models, and recommendations on how improvements to the evidence could be made in the future; a user guide with worked examples; and the cost-benefit tool, an Excel model which enables the user to explore a range of different scenarios.
