In extra care and supported housing you live in your own flat with care staff available on site. The care is regulated by the CQC; the housing is not. Ask what care is included, what is charged separately and who the landlord is.

Taken from the CQC register: “NHS” means run by an NHS body or providing NHS primary care; “Independent” is the CQC’s word for a provider that is not an NHS body – a company, partnership or individual. It says who runs the service, not who pays: many independent providers deliver NHS- or council-funded care. Charities and community interest companies are shown separately, where the register or the provider’s name says so. Use the All · NHS · Private switch at the top of any directory page to browse one kind only.
Usually arranged and funded by the council after a care needs assessment, with a financial assessment to decide any contribution.
Rent and housing costs
You normally have your own tenancy, so rent is separate from care. Ask the provider and your council what help with housing costs you can claim.
Self-funded
Some services can be bought privately. Ask what is included in the price.
The CQC register does not record which types of funding each provider accepts, so always ask the provider – and get the answer in writing before you commit.
