So about supported living business in the Uk. Supported living is a form of healthcare that promotes service users residing within the community.
Many local authorities have moved away from the provision of residential care services for people with learning disabilities to ‘supported living’ options.

In simple terms, supported living is an approach that is based on the belief that people have a right to decide where, how and whom they live with, and who should provide them with the support they need to do this. The fundamental principle is that you live in your own home, shared, with a partner, or on your own and you get the sort of care and/or support that works for you


So supported living consists of both regulated and unregulated activities. They are regulated by the CQC…that’s for England.


Categories of Supported Living

• Sheltered & Extra Care Housing
• Short-term Supported Housing
• Long Term Housing
