| Annotation | The guidance to which Age Concern England (ACE) is responding broadly explains where registration as a care home is required, and how to distinguish care homes from supported housing of various kinds. It specifically discusses whether very sheltered housing or extra care should be registered as care homes under the Care Standards Act 2000, based on the requirement that registration is required where the provision of personal care is made within an establishment. While ACE welcomes the intention to promote safety in care service provision, there is concern that the proposals could limit the future provision and sustainability of models of housing care that aim to enhance older people's independence.
