Overview
SHARE is a 24/7 service that supports people who experience mental distress that impacts on their daily living. SHARE is a 12-bed social care provision that provides short term placements for periods of assessment under the Care Act 2014. Two crisis beds are available to support individuals requiring crisis intervention as alternative to hospital admission. One respite bed which provides short stays away from the home environment enabling carers to have periods of independence in their lives. The service supports people from age 18, with no upper age limit. Referrals can be taken from professionals in Adult Social Care, Community Mental Health Services and Acute/Rehab Wards or internally from people stepping down from crisis beds for a period of assessment or intervention. The aim of the service is to support people on the recovery pathway, so they lead more independent lives in the community, safely and to the best of their abilities.
