About Shared Lives
At Oldham Shared Lives, we are a home care agency based in Oldham, Manchester, committed to supporting people in the comfort and familiarity of their own homes. We believe that everyone deserves to live as independently as possible, with the right support around them, and that is what we work hard to provide every day. We support a wide range of people across our community, including older adults, younger adults, and individuals living with dementia, learning disabilities, autism, mental health conditions, physical disabilities, and visual or hearing impairments. We also support people managing eating disorders and those working through alcohol or drug misuse. We recognise that no two people are the same, and we take the time to understand what matters most to each person we work with so that the support we offer genuinely fits around their life, not the other way round. Shared Lives as a model is built on real relationships. The people we support are not simply receiving a service; they are part of a wider network of care that centres on trust, familiarity, and consistency. We work closely with carers who open their homes and lives to others, creating arrangements that feel human and grounded rather than clinical or transactional. We are honest about where we are in our journey. Our overall rating with the Care Quality Commission has not yet been assigned, and we welcome the scrutiny that regulation brings because it helps us to keep improving and to remain accountable to the people who rely on us. If you are looking for support for yourself or someone you care about, or if you are interested in becoming a Shared Lives carer, we would love to hear from you. We are here to have an honest conversation and help you find the right path forward.
