Adult placement schemes

Adult placement

Adult placement is a flexible service providing care to vulnerable adults aged 18 and over.  This care is provided in the homes of adult placement carers and can be on a short or long term basis.  Living with adult placement carers gives you the opportunity to live an ordinary domestic life as part of your local community.  You will be encouraged to maintain contact with your friends and relatives.

Cumbria County Council provide Adult placement schemes as part of their Adult Social Care service.
