Supported Living

Supported Living is a home care agency based in Stourbridge, in the Dudley council area, registered with the Care Quality Commission to provide personal care to people in their own homes. It most likely works within about 9 miles of its Stourbridge office, which is our estimate rather than something the agency has told us. It is registered to care for people with a learning disability or autism. It is run by Inshore Support. The agency has been registered since December 2010.

Supported Living has not yet received a CQC rating. This is normal for a newly registered agency; the CQC usually inspects within its first year or so.

Supported Living has not published its rates and we are still collecting figures for Dudley. Across England agencies usually charge £26 to £36 an hour for visits and £1,200 to £1,750 a week for live-in care.
