Supported Living Recommission

‘Supported Living’ is where people have the benefit of living in their community, in ordinary houses or flats with staff available to help them to live more independently.

The Care Quality Commission (CQC) defines supported living as “schemes that provide personal care to people as part of the support that they need to live in their own homes. The personal care is provided under separate contractual arrangements to those for the person’s housing”.

We are currently looking at how we can improve supported living services, for people aged 18 and over with disabilities – including people with learning disabilities, physical disabilities, autism, sensory impairments and / or a mental health condition.

We asked people who use services, their families and carers to tell us what was important to them. We also talked to care providers and housing providers about what the future should look like. We have used all of this feedback to shape our new commissioning plan, which covers both care services and making sure we have the right accommodation in Staffordshire.

We will present our new commissioning plan to Cabinet in March 2025. Once this has been agreed, we will update this webpage with key information so people can understand the plan in more detail, what this means for them and how they can become involved, if they wish too.
