Supported Living vs Residential Care
Choosing the right type of support is an important decision. Supported living and residential care offer different levels of independence, choice, and control.
| Feature | Supported Living | Residential Care |
|---|---|---|
| Living Space | Your own tenancy (flat/house) | Communal facility (care home) |
| Independence | High degree of independence and autonomy | Less individual autonomy; more structured |
| Support Level | Personalised, flexible, based on individual needs | Comprehensive, 24/7 on-site care and supervision |
| Control | High control over daily life, routines, and services | Less control over daily routines; shared environment |
| Community | Integrated into the wider community | Primarily within the care home community |
| Goal | Foster independence, life skills, and community links | Ensure safety, well-being, and comprehensive care |
Key Differences
- Supported Living allows individuals to live in their own home or tenancy with tailored housing-related support.
- Residential Care involves living in a shared care setting with set routines and on-site care staff.
- Supported living promotes choice, independence, and personal routines, while residential care is more structured and collective.
