Frequently Asked Questions

What makes supported living CQC compliance different?
Supported living focuses on independence, choice, and control. CQC expects to see personalised support plans, evidence of community participation, clear tenancy/support separation, and person-centred outcomes that differ from residential care models.
What audits are needed for supported living services?
Key audits include person-centred support plans, medication management, safeguarding, health and safety, staff competency, mental capacity assessments, positive behaviour support, and outcome-focused reviews.
