Ordinary Residence

Abstract

Supporting People has raised new issues relating to ‘ordinary residence’, as people with learning difficulties move from care homes to supported living schemes. This article examines the legal background and the factors which can determine where a person is ‘ordinarily resident’ and, consequently, which local authority is responsible for providing community care services.
