Long term Shared Lives carers are entitled to 28 days paid break per year. Throughout the period of the paid break, the Shared Lives carer will receive the Adult Social Care payment (based on the bandings above) and the Housing benefit element. The service user will not make a personal contribution to the long term carer when they are being supported in alternative accommodation. No new financial assessment will have to be made under fairer charging. Social Workers will make extra provision for 28 days respite when costing the placement on an annual basis. Therefore the costing should include 52 weeks at the long term placement rate and 28 nights/days at the respite rate. If a Shared Lives respite placement it to be used it should be based on the respite costings below. The Shared Lives team will endeavour to arrange respite from another Shared Lives carer or the Social Worker will make alternative respite arrangements.

Shared lives payments detailed below are for respite. They follow the same bandings as for long term care. If respite takes place for less than one week, divide the overall payment by 7 to give a daily rate.
