Adult Placement

What is an Adult Placement?

In an Adult Placement, you share your carer’s home in your local community. The Adult Placement Carer gives you support and you will share daily life with them

There can be different types of placement, offering a home, a short break (respite) or support with an activity.

Who is it for?

It is for Adults aged 18 years and over and who live in the London Borough of Richmond upon Thames.

Adult Placement Carers will help you to:

  • Look after yourself
  • Keep healthy and active
  • Learn new skills
  • Meet people
  • Enjoy hobbies and support you with activities
  • Manage your Money
  • Share domestic tasks like cooking and cleaning
