The incentive approach aims to widen the potential pool of applicants. The aim of this commission is to: • Increase the number of suitable applicants referred into the Shared Lives recruitment pathway. • Improve the quality of Shared Lives applications. • Support the Shared Lives service to meet growing demand for community-based care by recruiting additional Shared Lives households. • Provide a consistent, high quality, information and triage process before referral. These aims align with SCC’s strategic priority of promoting independence, community connection, and cost-effective adult social care.",
