Choosing the right care business model is one of the most important decisions you’ll make as a care founder — and one of the most misunderstood.

In this episode, Linda Dube breaks down the main care business models in the UK, including domiciliary care, supported living, and accommodation-based services, and explains how to choose the right one based on your experience, wellbeing, and long-term goals.

This episode covers: • The realities of domiciliary care vs supported living • Local authority expectations and commissioning realities • CICs, housing benefit, and why councils often prefer social housing landlords • Tenant rights, choice of care provider, and the Right Support, Right Care, Right Culture framework • Why many new providers are better starting with domiciliary care before moving into supported living

This episode is ideal for aspiring care business owners, early-stage providers, and anyone considering supported living or home care in the UK.
