Showing 10 of 22 supported living in Devon that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 26 registered in total. Services with no published rating are excluded: newly registered services often have none, and no rating is not a poor rating.
Based on Care Quality Commission data published 01 July 2026, used under the Open Government Licence. No provider has paid for a position on this page, and none can.
Supported living separates two things that a care home bundles together: where you live and the support you get.
You hold a tenancy, in the same way as any other tenant, and a care provider supports you in that home.
Most commonly adults with a learning disability, autistic adults, people with mental health needs, and younger disabled adults moving on from family homes or residential schools.
Housing costs: rent and eligible service charges, usually met through Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit.
Care and support: funded by the council after a needs assessment, subject to the means test. Many people take this as a direct payment and employ their own staff.
Because the two are separate, supported living can be more financially workable than residential care for working age adults.
26 CQC-registered supported living have a registered office in Devon, South West. Of those, 22 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.
That depends on your finances, not your postcode. Above £23,250 in capital you normally pay the full cost. Below £14,250 your capital is ignored. Your council carries out the financial assessment, and NHS Continuing Healthcare pays in full where needs are primarily health needs. 2026/27 thresholds for England.
It means it was rated Good at the last inspection, and the gap between inspections can run to years. Use the rating as a starting point, read the full report, and visit in person before deciding.
In supported living you hold your own tenancy and the care is a separate arrangement, so you can in principle change care provider without moving. In a care home, accommodation and care come as one package from one provider. Supported living usually gives more control and a different benefits position.
The costs split. Rent and service charges are usually met through Housing Benefit or the housing element of Universal Credit. The care and support is funded separately through the council after a needs assessment, subject to the means test on your income and capital.
