Today we want to introduce you to Katie.
Three things to know about Katie. She loves yoga, meditation and she's registered as blind. She's also fiercely independent.
Katie lives with Lucy who she met through the Council’s Shared Lives project.
Shared Lives offers adults (who need support) the opportunity to live with approved Carers in ordinary family homes.
The project made a huge difference to Katie and has allowed her to retain her independence while getting the support they need.
Watch the video below to hear what Katie and Lucy have to say about the project.
The project is just one way that our Adult Social Care Teams are working with communities throughout Coventry to achieve the best outcomes for people.
