How do I choose a Shared Lives scheme in Glasgow City?
Start with the help the person needs now and might need later, and shortlist a few services near the people who will visit. Check each one’s latest Care Inspectorate grades and how old it is, read its latest inspection report, and where you can, visit or meet the team more than once before you decide. Ask what is included in the fees and what happens if needs change. This is general information, not advice.
Who pays for care in Glasgow City?
It depends on the person’s needs and finances. Some people pay for all of their own care, some get help from their council, and the NHS pays for some health care. The first step is to ask your local council for a free assessment of care needs: that is the council’s social work service. We do not show prices and this is general information, not advice.
How up to date is this information?

Choosing shared lives
Shared Lives, which the Care Inspectorate calls adult placement, is when an adult who needs support lives with, or regularly stays with, a trained and approved host in their home, and becomes part of the family. It is often used for longer stays, short breaks and day support.
Things to check
- Ask how hosts are checked, trained and supported, and how a match is made.
- Ask for a trial visit or a short stay before you commit.
- Ask how reviews work and who to contact if things are not going well.
- Read the latest Care Inspectorate report for the Shared Lives scheme.
Whoever ends up paying, you can ask your council’s adult social care team for a free assessment of what help you need. Our guide explains what to expect and what to ask.
