Welcome to Respite Care UK, your trusted nationwide directory for supported living services. We connect individuals and families with care providers that offer personalised, safe, and empowering support for those who wish to maintain independence while receiving the care they need.
Whether you are looking for long term supported living, short term stays, or specialist care within a supportive environment, our directory makes it easy to search, compare and contact providers across the United Kingdom.
Supported living enables people to live independently in their own home or community while having access to professional care and assistance tailored to their needs. Unlike residential care or nursing homes, supported living focuses on promoting autonomy, allowing residents to make choices about daily life while having support available for:
Personal care, such as bathing and dressing
Health management and medication support
Household tasks and meal preparation
Social activities and community involvement
Specialist support for disabilities or long term conditions
Supported living is ideal for older adults, people with disabilities, and anyone who wants to live independently but benefit from professional support when needed.
Choosing supported living offers a range of advantages for individuals and families:
Independence with support – live in your own space with care available as needed
Tailored care plans – services designed around your individual requirements
Enhanced quality of life – maintain social connections and community engagement
Flexibility – access support on a short term or long term basis
Peace of mind for families – knowing loved ones are safe, supported, and empowered
Supported living provides a balance between independence and professional care, helping residents enjoy a fulfilling and safe lifestyle.
Our directory features a wide range of supported living providers across the UK, including:
Long term supported living arrangements
