Businesses in this category provide residential accommodation alongside social care or support for people who need help with daily living, supervision or a structured living environment. Services may be offered to children, young people, adults facing social or personal difficulties, or people undergoing rehabilitation. The accommodation can range from shared homes and supported housing to residential units, with the level of staffing and assistance varying according to residents' needs. Typical services include help with personal routines, meals and household tasks; emotional and practical support; supervision and safeguarding; and assistance with education, training, independent living or reintegration into the community. Some providers offer short-term placements, while others provide longer-term accommodation. These services are distinct from hospital treatment and from care homes focused specifically on older people or people with disabilities.
