This paper sets out the different characteristics of housing and support options in terms of the level of choice, control, rights and inclusion they offer to people with care or support needs. Using the housing and support categories identified in the typology in briefing paper 2, the paper uses a table to show what each of the options offer. Characteristics cover: choice over who to live with, choice in relation to nature and level of support, choice over who supports, control over what happens in the home, own front door, security of tenure, rights to full welfare benefits, CQC regulated, community location, sole or shared ownership, and which client groups the housing caters for. The discussion paper aims to stimulate feedback and comments which will be used to inform a final position paper. It focuses specifically on housing and support available for older people, people with learning disabilities and people with mental health problems (Edited publisher abstract)

The National Care Standards Committee was set up by the Scottish Government to develop national standards in collaboration with a number of working groups including service users and service providers. They are designed to be from the point of view of service users to help them to understand what they can expect from the service provider. They may also be of use to service providers to help them know what is expected of them. The standards in this publication cover care homes for people with mental health problems. These services provide accommodation together with nursing and personal care or support to people with mental health problems. People with mental health problems may choose to stay in a care home permanently, or for regular planned short breaks. Staff should be able to cater for individual’s changing needs so they should not have to move if they become ill. The standards are grouped under 4 headings: before moving in; settling in; day-to-day life; and moving on.
