The Care and Support and After-care (Choice of Accommodation) Regulations 2014

Under Part 1 of the Care Act 2014 (“the Act”) a local authority may meet care and support needs by providing accommodation, for example in a care home. Regulations under section 30 of the Act may provide that where an adult’s needs are to be met by the provision of specified types of accommodation, and the adult has expressed a preference for particular accommodation of that type, the local authority must meet the adult’s preference, provided that specified conditions are met. These Regulations make such provision.
