How this ranking was built

  1. Overall CQC rating. Outstanding ranks above Good.
  2. Domain strength. How many of the five inspection domains, safe, effective, caring, responsive and well-led, are rated Good or Outstanding.
  3. Recency. A more recently published rating carries more weight, because it reflects the service closer to how it is now.

Showing 10 of 17 supported living in Newcastle Upon Tyne that currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, out of 23 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.

About supported living in Newcastle Upon Tyne

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.

Who it suits

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.

Why it is often preferred

  • You have tenancy rights, which are stronger than a care home contract
  • You can change care provider in principle without moving home
  • The funding splits, so rent is met through housing benefits rather than care funding
  • It supports independence rather than replacing it

How the money works

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.

What to check

  • Is the tenancy genuine, with real tenancy rights?
  • Are the housing provider and the care provider genuinely separate?
  • What happens if you want to change care provider?
  • How is support staffed overnight, and is it shared with other tenants?
  • How does support change if your needs increase?

Supported living in Newcastle Upon Tyne: common questions

How many supported living are there in Newcastle Upon Tyne?

23 CQC-registered supported living have a registered office in Newcastle Upon Tyne, North East. Of those, 17 currently hold a published Good or Outstanding rating, which is the pool this ranking is drawn from.

Who pays for supported living in Newcastle Upon Tyne?

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.

Does a Good rating mean the service is good today?

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.

What is the difference between supported living and a care home?

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.

Who pays for supported living?

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.

Carevo does not inspect or endorse services. CQC ratings change between inspections. Check the current rating on the CQC website and read the full report before deciding.
