ategi Shared Lives Scheme
Everyone has the right to choose where he or she lives and stays. Shared Lives offers a community based alternative to other forms of support.
Ategi aims to provide high quality, individual support and assistance to people so that they can exercise their right to an ordinary life in the community, sharing living or staying breaks with one of our carefully chosen Shared Lives Carers.
